Trivia
The very artful and legendary 1975 The Rocky Horror Picture Show became a staple of The RIDGE Theatre, its weekend midnight screenings reliably putting bums in seats and keeping the enterprise alive. Over the decades, the film (and the theatre itself) became a likewise cult favourite like very few, if any, for the public to make personal theatre around, costumes and safe but outrageous behaviour tolerated at its oft-drunken late night screenings, dry items brought en masse and thrown about in the seats overtop of fellow audiences in an orgy of cinematic excess that only the seventies could've ever mustered. To this day, even Easy Rider doesn't invite nor accommodate such public expectation, The RIDGE Theatre a unique venue decades long in its accommodation of both art and comedy, free and open expression of an animated audience united in self reflection of campy spoof.
