Landmark After Dark

When Anthony Pearce created The Bawdy Caste back in 1995,
his wisdom and passion for Rocky Horror set a firm foundation for what The Bawdy Caste would become.  He applied his 12 years of experience to his approach as The Bawdy Caste Director, stressing the finer points; compassion and respect for the people that make up this cast, the audience, the theater, and the phenomenon as a whole.  He taught the cast to never take for granted “the phenomenon” that is much larger than any single actor or cast.

In the past 11 years The Bawdy Caste has grown
from a young cast that many people thought wouldn’t survive, to a strong and award winning cast that has become known for its screen accuracy and young talent.  Since 1995, Bawdy Caste has performed in San Jose, Fremont, Menlo Park, and Campbell.  Aside from regular shows, Bawdy Caste has also performed an AIDS benefit show which raised money for Junior Chamber Mission Inn, performed in The San Francisco Gay Pride Parade, and held two fundraiser shows for The Red Cross after 9/11. 

Bawdy Caste has also been blessed with the opportunity to perform Reno’s Artown Festival since 1998.  What started as a 2000 person audience in Wingfield Park has grown to a 5000 person audience in The Reno Hilton’s amphitheater.  Rocky Horror has become one of Artown’s biggest attractions.
 
The Caste strives to put on a show that is as accurate to the movie as possible.  They pride themselves in the overall look of the show which includes running a technically sound stage and creating a friendly and safe environment for the actors and audience.  The Caste as well as the audience should feel like they are allowed to get the FULL Rocky experience each time they come, and that is what The Bawdy Caste is determined to do.
