Mark your calendars! Over the Counter Improv is coming to Beef O’Brady’s in Baxter Village!

Friday February 10th 7:30pm-9:00pm!

Come see some of the best live comedy in the Charlotte-Metro area, as OTC performs a “Whose Line is it Anyway” style improv show to benefit the Edge Theatre Company!! Admission is free…but donations are greatly appreciated!

And be sure to stick around afterwards for the best Karaoke in town from 9pm-1am!

Our friends at Beef O’Brady’s in Baxter Village (Fort Mill, SC) are helping us to raise money for the Edge Theatre Company!

Join us for lunch or dinner, January 30th-February 12th, and be sure to ask to be seated in the “Big Booth for the Edge”. Beefs will donate 15% of anything ordered in the big booth to the Edge Theatre!

Helping out is as easy as enjoying a great meal with family and friends! Spread the word, then go eat!

Thank you all for such a wonderful 2010-2011 production season!  We look forward to creating good theatre for a good cause with you in 2011-2012!  See you all at the Edge!

I want to thank you all for auditioning for the Edge Theatre Company’s 2011 production of Richard O’Brien’s the Rocky Horror Show.  I am honored to have been able to meet so many people this week and hear such great voices and witness all that talent.  But, I have to admit, it was much harder to narrow things down and choose roles than I thought it would be.  And so…after much (and I mean MUCH) deliberation and consideration, I shall now relieve your antici……
….pation.  This is the cast lineup as I see it.

Our first–and pretty much mandatory–rehearsal meeting will be this Sunday evening 8/28 at 7pm at South Pointe High School.  If you didn’t pick up a rehearsal schedule at auditions, I will have copies on Sunday.  You will receive a rehearsal cd from our musical director, Randy Price; you will be fitted and costumes discussed with our costume designer, Cecilia Boles; and you will meet our choreographer, Stephanie Zayas.  We will go over the logistics, expectations, get to know one another, work through my OCD a little bit, and then prepare to thrill, chill, and fulfill the Carolinas with the best show ever!

Narrator: Garrett Marks
Magenta: Kitty Beard
Columbia: Ramsey Lyric
Riff Raff: Dennis Dejesus
Eddie/Dr. Scott: Phil Calabro
Brad Majors: Brandon DiMatteo
Janet Weiss: Maggie Monahan
Rocky: Ryan Hilton
Frank N. Furter: Bryan Green
Phantoms: Patricia Clark, Courtney Williams, Allison Zobel, Dody Gaston, Stephanie Zayas, Amber Westbrook, Ann Marie Calabro, Morgan Overcash, Caitlyn O’Connor, Kerri Marks, Elizabeth Dial

Congratulations!!  You all made a huge impression on me and I’m very excited about working with each and every one of you on this production!!
