It's another week of summer blockbusters on the local arts scene!
Hair opened this past weekend to near-capacity crowds. Though the show is 40 years old, it is still shockingly relevant. Audience members were laughing, crying, offended, moved, and freaked out. Don't miss it, and make sure to make reservations early. I'm predicting many sold out houses. One of the highlights of this summer season has been Space: The Musical and this is their LAST WEEKEND! It's an original, hilarious musical parodying your favorite space-themed TV shows and movies. If you haven't seen it yet, make sure to head down to the Gaslight before it blasts off forever. Last summer brought us the surprise hit "The History of Rock & Roll." If you saw the last show, you discovered how fun it was to reminisce through some of the best (& worst) songs of the past 50 years...performed in style at the Spotlight. This year, I can't wait to see what they've done as HR&R goes to the movies. This opening weekend will be blast. Rocky Horror comes back to the Empty Space as well on Friday & Saturday. This midnight madness is one of the best parties in town...and features local celebrity Meathead as Eddie (Whatever happened to Saturday night!). There are a couple of auditions to tell you about, and I'm stealing Jen Raven's blog to tell you about all of the ART SHOW events in the near future (check that out under miscellaneous). I've got a fun video up to give you a taste of hair, and I'm hoping to bring you some Rock & Roll next week. (See Theatre Addict TV). Thanks for supporting the arts. There is lots to support this weekend. Enjoy! -Aaron Mauldin Editor Contents: Burn This - July 2 & 3 - Empty Space

AT THE SPOTLIGHT THEATRE Friday & Saturday at 8PM A new tradition returns to the Spotlight Theatre this summer, as we present the sequel to last year’s smash hit "The History of Rock & Roll" with this year’s "THE HISTORY OF ROCK & ROLL GOES TO THE MOVIES!" While last year’s production took us on a musical journey from the start of rock and roll to the present, this time around, we focus on songs from movies, dating all the way back to the early days of cinema! When our movie host meets our music host, the two combine for a show with acting, singing, dancing, and more! This show is sure to be fun for the entire family! Excluding songs from established musicals, this year’s production has songs that were made famous because of the movies they were in! The show includes everything from Judy Garland and the Andrews Sisters to Coolio and Eminem! And we also include famous scenes from movies like Casablanca, High Noon, Singin’ In the Rain, The Graduate, Young Frankenstein, Animal House, 9 to 5, The Blues Brothers, Rocky III, Footloose, Beverly Hills Cop, Top Gun, Moulin Rouge and more! Featuring performers like Abbott and Costello, Marilyn Monroe, Elvis Presley, Audrey Hepburn, The Beatles, James Bond, Barbra Streisand, Isaac Hayes, the Bee Gees, Donna Summer, Bob Seger, Stevie Wonder, Prince, Madonna, Oingo Boingo, Bette Midler, Whitney Houston, Leann Rimes, Trisha Yearwood, Celine Dion, the Soggy Bottom Boys, Peabo Bryson, Phil Collins, and more surprises! For tickets and information, call the Spotlight Theatre box office at 634-0692 or visit us at 1622 19th St. The Rocky Horror Picture Show One Weekend Only!
AT THE EMPTY SPACE Friday & Saturday at MIDNIGHT RHPS contains 16 great songs...Including "The Time Warp", "Sweet Transvestite", and "Whatever Happened To Saturday Night?” performed by our very own Meathead from KRAB Radio. DREAM IT IN YOUR LIVING ROOM, BE IT IN THE THEATRE! The Rocky Horror Picture Show has made audience participation an institution, so come join the outrageous Rocky Horror experience at The Empty Space on June 29th and 30th.
Auditions: Burn This Written by Lanford Wilson Directed by Justin Brooks July 2 & 3 from 6-9 PM at the Empty Space 3 male parts and 1 female part THE STORY: The place is a Manhattan loft shared by Anna, a lithe young dancer-choreographer, and her two gay roommates—her collaborator, Robby, who has just been killed in a freak boating accident, and Larry, a world-weary, caustically funny young advertising executive. As the play begins Anna is recovering from attending Robby's funeral, comforted by her wealthy, well-meaning boyfriend, Burton, a sci-fi screenwriter whose persistent proposals of marriage Anna finds herself unable to accept. Then, with sudden, unexpected explosiveness, Robby's older brother, Pale, bursts on the scene. He has come to collect his brother's belongings—but stays on to transform the action of the play and the lives of those in it. Menacing, profane, dangerous and yet oddly sensitive, Pale is both terrifying and fascinating and, in the end, the one who brings to Anna the unsettling but compelling love that, despite her fears and doubts, she cannot turn away.
An original play written and directed by Barry Wolcott July 7 & 8 from 1-4 and July 10 from 7-9 at Bakersfield Community Theatre Show dates are August 10, 11, 17, & 18. Cast includes 9 people. 3 males and 6 females ages 20's to 40's.
