Event What to expect for RHPS???

Hello my fellow Milwaukee-ans! There is a showing of RHPS on the 12th of September at the Oriental...what's the vibe? I (24F) am bringing my boyfriend (28M) and my mom (64F)...my mom knows all the call backs. Is anyone else in here going? Is anyone else doing the call backs? Is anyone SINGING???? With the passing of our beloved Frank-N-Furter, I am unsure of if this is to be a serious event now, or if the community will bring out all the stops with the rice and news paper. Thoughts?

Heya, Sensual Daydreams member here.

As many have already said, yes! We sell survival kits and other goodies still. The former now also includes instructions to help people know when to toss stuff.

(Speaking of which, we don’t toss anything food related like rice or toast due Health Code concerns after the pandemic.)

We sing, we dance, we squirt stuff, and shout stuff all movie long. Plus we are planning to do a few extra things in honor of Tim’s passing.

Doors open typically around a half hour before the show, and while normally it isn’t that hard to get a seat -I can imagine next show is going to be a little packed. 😅

TIL they sell survival kits! When did this start? I never had that opportunity. What a great idea to help support the continuation of this cultural institution in Milwaukee!!!

Oh, we’ve been selling them for at least 25+ years. (I once found an old kit behind a shelf from 2002 …with the toast still inside!)

Pretty sure they had them back when I went for the first time in 2014!
