The Maclab Enterprises Students Club is a Citadel Theatre/Robbins Academy program that offers a unique glimpse into the world of professional theatre to a wide range of junior and senior high school students from Edmonton and surrounding areas.

On the first three Tuesdays and Wednesdays of our Landmark Group Mainstage productions, Students Club members gather to enjoy a small reception before the show and then participate in a highly engaging, interactive presentation/demonstration involving one of the Citadel’s talented theatre artists. Following the performance students are then invited to stay for a lively talkback session with members of the production’s cast and crew.

Prior to The Rocky Horror Show Students Club members will be treated to a pre-show presentation featuring the production’s set and costume designer, Cory Sincennes. This club will offer a whirlwind journey through the process of creating a set and costume design for a large scale show, and draw from the rich collection of sketches, models and costume mock-ups developed along the way. With Cory as guide, Club members will follow the visual world of Rocky Horror as it evolves from earliest conception to final completion.

RICHARD O’BRIEN

B

orn in Cheltenham, England, Richard Smith’s family moved to Tauranga, New Zealand, in 1951 when his father, an accountant, decided to become a sheep farmer. Watching horror and science-fiction double features in nearby Hamilton, Smith added an interest in acting to his love of rock and roll. He moved back to England in 1964, tried singing, then became a movie stuntman and fringe theatre actor. He changed his name to O’Brien (his beloved maternal grandmother’s name) one day while on the phone to British Actors Equity, to avoid confusion with another Richard Smith. He met director Jim Sharman in 1972, when Sharman cast him in the dual roles of Apostle and Leper for the London stage production (transferred from Sharman’s native Australia) of Jesus Christ Superstar. Working again with Sharman on a production of Sam Shepard’s The Unseen Hand, O’Brien mentioned a new rock musical he’d been writing called Rock Horroar. The play went into rehearsals as They Came from Denton High, and at Sharman’s suggestion, was retitled The Rocky Horror Show before opening in June 1973. In Rocky Horror circles, Richard “Ritz” O’Brien is simply... the creator. He wrote the book, music and lyrics for the Rocky Horror Show musical in 1973, and originated the role of Riff Raff in its original London production.

The play’s 1975 film adaptation, The Rocky Horror Picture Show (in which he again played Riff Raff), spawned the massive cult following. Outside of Rocky Horror he’s known for his other stage and film work. While in the U.K. he’s also widely recognized as “Reckless Rick”, host of the wildly popular early 90s BBC game show The Crystal Maze. Selected stage roles include Hair, Jesus Christ Superstar, The Unseen Hand, Disgracefully Yours and Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. Selected film roles include Jubilee, Flash Gordon, Shock Treatment, Spice World and Elvira’s Haunted Hills.

A BRIEF HISTORY OF

ROCKY HORROR

T

The Rocky Horror Show and The Rocky Horror Picture Show have become cult classics of the stage and cinema world for decades and across generations. This genrebending, out-of-this-world horror comedy stage musical is rife with show-stopping numbers set on a backdrop of B-movie horror, science fiction and sexual liberation.

For forty years the play has been a critical and commercial blockbuster.

English-born New Zealander Richard O’Brien, the mad scientist behind this Frankenstein’s monster of mish-mash genres, began working on music for the production in the early 70s. The musical first premiered at London’s Royal Court Theatre Upstairs in ’73 to instant success – record producers scheduled a recording in the first weekend of performances, anticipating the overwhelming response to the show. Critics and audiences alike absolutely loved it.

The American cast premiere of The Rocky Horror Show began at Los Angeles’ Roxy club in 1974 and had a brief run on Broadway. Meanwhile, the original cast continued to tour the UK well into the late 70s. The play has since had numerous revivals and subsequent productions across the globe.

The Rocky Horror Picture Show was adapted for screen by Richard O’Brien and director Jim Sharman in 1975, and includes many of the original cast members of the UK production, joining Tim Curry, Susan Sarandon and Barry Bostwick (Richard O’Brien played Riff Raff both on stage and screen).

By 1977, the movie had reached cult-classic status, with predominant midnight showings and the beginnings of audience participation. Over thirty years later, both the stage musical and movie version invite droves of costumed patrons to bring their own props and scripts to play along. Interactive elements are scaled down for safety in live-theatre productions and joining in on the fun has become a fundamental part of the experience.

This is the first time The Rocky Horror Show has been produced by the Citadel.

The old player was not the first one to note Dickens’ love of the stage. Wrote critic Alexander Wollcott, “Charles Dickens was the most successful and most immeasurably far reaching writer born of modern England. But he was never quite happy in his work. The secret of his heart – he wanted to be an actor.”

And so, I thought an essay on this little known but influential part of the great writer’s life might be in order as we look forward to the 12th annual mounting of A Christmas Carol – the Citadel production that has become an Edmonton tradition.

Woollcott went on, “It would have been idle to expostulate that he could and did reach a far wider audience than any actor might aspire to. He knew that well enough. He knew it. He did not feel it. He did not hear them laugh, did not see them cry. All the genius poured into Copperfield or the tale of Tiny Tim could not bring him the warm, human satisfaction of visible audience appreciation.”

In his youth, Dickens established a dramatic company with his friends. But in 1842 his family was imprisoned in Marshalsea Prison for their father’s debt. So, at the age of 12, he was sent off to work 10 hour days at Warring’s Blacking Warehouse – where he earned 6 shillings a week. But, even then, his love of theatre blossomed amidst the smoke blackened warehouses. You can imagine the young lad in his white hat, little jacket and corduroy trousers

30 THE ROCKY HORROR SHOW

marching up to the ticket booth of some grungy theatre and plunking down a considerable portion of his income for an evening of theatre.

He desperately wanted to be on the stage. With his usual attention to detail, he prepared a presentation for the manager of Covent Gardens for a role in an upcoming production of The Hunchback. It was impressive enough to secure an audition. On the morning of the meeting, poor Charles awoke with a terrible cold and an affliction that inflamed his face – making him look ridiculous. He wrote and apologized adding, “I would resume my application next season.”

Alas for Dickens, the actor, that season never came.

Sadly, he picked up his pen and went on to writing for newspapers. The rest, as they say, is history.

Dickens was a big, bluff man with a personality to match. As he wrote his great books, he would leap from his desk and act out each character – and what characters they were, Pickwick, Fezziwig, Nickelby, Pip and, of course, Scrooge. About the writing of A Christmas Carol Dickens observed, “I wept and laughed and wept again.”

In 1842, Dickens set sail for Montreal to bring a bit of Old Blighty to the homesick men of the British Garrison there. He was asked to direct three plays and leapt at the idea. As was usual, he took over all the major theatrical chores including roles in all three. Observed a contemporary reviewer, “Mr. Dickens was a spirited performer and elicited much applause.” When it was over, with the sound of that applause ringing in his ears, the great author’s life profoundly changed – it was the spark that rekindled his love of the footlights.

When he returned to England, he threw himself with all the force of his awesome intellect and personality, into amateur theatrics. His publisher, who wanted more books, was horrified. His friends were horrified. “It is a substitution of lower for higher aims,” sniffed one. Apparently not needing the amount of sleep others did he continued to write his voluminous books.

Dickens feverishly attended to the smallest detail in backstage management. He was actor, stage manager, designed and moved sets, assisted carpenters, invented costumes, and devised playbills. The Dickens amateur troupe even performed twice for Queen Victoria and Prince Albert. Decreed the Queen, “There is not a living professional actor who could have matched Dickens.”

In 1849 Dickens was disappointed with the public’s reaction to his treasured volume of A Christmas Carol. So, he decided to take advantage of his love of theatrics and perform a series of solo public readings. He made some judicious cuts, emphasizing character and humour, while jettisoning some of the social comment he thought a live crowd might find boring.

The presentations may have been billed as readings but he never read – using the books on

Dickens was an immediate success. Said his biographer Edgar Johnson, “It was an extraordinary exhibition of acting – without a single prop or bit of costume, by changes of voice, by gesture, by vocal expression, Dickens peopled his stage with a throng of characters.” Dickens took his act to the Americas where he was greeted by long lines around the theatre. Prospective patrons would camp out, sleeping on the sidewalk, in hopes of getting a ticket. Dickens observed to a friend, “I have read in New York city four times to 40,000 people. I am quite as well known there as in the streets of London.”

He sold out everywhere making more money from the readings than he ever could for the book itself. Never forgetting his poverty ridden youth, he always made sure seats were available for working-class prices.

Since then the role of Scrooge has proven to be catnip for actors – ranging from Lionel Barrymore to Jim Carrey. Two years ago after a distinguished decade, Tom Wood gave up his Scrooge in the Citadel’s A Christmas Carol. Scrooge is a tough and demanding role – not only

because of the emotional arc he goes through but physically tough. “It’s quite a challenge,” says Wood. “From the moment it starts, you are running around backstage when you are not onstage – which is most of the time. It’s really exhausting as I know from hauling my sorry ass up and down those stairs all those years.”

Anointed as the new resident curmudgeon was a superlative Canadian actor with a long and distinguished curriculum vitae: Richard McMillan. “Was I trepidatious? Yes! You Bet! I have some pretty big shoes to fill,” observes McMillan. He should not have worried. His performance last year as Scrooge demonstrated again that a great actor can put an individual stamp on a role – no matter how distinguished and able his predecessor was. “A Christmas Carol is one of those absolutely perfectly crafted stories – like Cyrano. The Jekyll and Hyde metamorphosis that this character undergoes is spectacular and could be seen as unbelievable. However, through the brilliance of Charles Dickens we see Scrooge’s journey as our own human journey. We seek his redemption as well as our own. Tom (Wood – the playwright) has beautifully distilled the novel in such a way that the audience, as well as Scrooge, is carried from one emotional peak to another and is left both breathless and transformed by the play’s end.”

Dickens, suffering from a lifetime of overwork and wild enthusiasms, finally began to run down. He died at the age of 58 on the 9th of June in 1870. Shortly before his death, he gave a particularly dramatic reading of Nancy’s death at the hand of Bill Sykes from Oliver Twist followed by a selection of emotionally wrenching scenes from A Christmas Carol. It was suggested that the dramatic vigour he put into the evening hastened his death a few days later. Dickens ended his reading that night with the prophetic words, “I now vanish evermore.”

Well, we all know that didn’t happen. He lives on in our hearts.

The Citadel’s production of Dickens’ A Christmas Carol is a continuing testament to his poetic vision, artistic accomplishment, hope for a more humane world and a tribute to the theatricality he pursued his entire life.

It opens in the Maclab Theatre on December 2nd.

November 15 - February 5, 2012

Music by Matthew Sklar Lyrics by Chad Beguelin Book by Chad Beguelin & Tim Herlihy Directed by Tim French Starring KEVIN DABBS It’s 1985 and rock star wannabe Robbie Hart is New Jersey’s favourite wedding singer. He’s the life of the party - until his own fiancee leaves him at the altar! Shot through the heart, Robbie loses faith in marriage and becomes a bride and groom’s worst nightmare. Enter Julia, a charming waitress who wins his affection. Only trouble is, Julia is about to be married to a wall street shark, and unless Robbie can pull off the performance of the decade, the girl of his dreams will be gone forever. With a brand-new score that plays homage to pop songs of the 1980’s, The Wedding Singer takes us back to a time when hair was big, greed was good, collars were up, and a wedding singer just might have been the coolest guy in the room.
