LIPS DOWN ON DIXE TO HOST ‘GAGA GALA’ FOR LION’S LIGHTHOUSE FOR SIGHT
Atlanta—Lady Gaga and Rocky Horror fans are in store for a special show this Friday February 25th, 2011 at The Plaza Theater at Midnight. Atlanta’s longest running ‘live show’, Rocky Horror Picture Show, featuring live performance group Lips Down On Dixie, will present a choreographed dance routine to Lady Gaga’s “Bad Romance” in honor of February being the month of Love. Since “Love is Blind”, all proceeds from the cast sales that evening will be donated to the Lion’s Lighthouse for Sight of Georgia which will help support the ‘Lion’s Night of Spectacles’, a fundraiser which helps provide sight-saving surgery for those that are not uninsured or unable to afford the procedures otherwise.
Audience members are being asked to dress in their best Gaga Gala attire and are also encouraged to bring unwanted prescription glasses to donate to the Lions Lighthouse. In addition to the special dance number, the always unique pre-show will include an audience participation game, a raffle of wondrous stuff from far and unreachable places, and sales of t-shirts, candy, and other novelty items sold by the hottest girls and guys on cast. Cast director Candace W. Miller, a longtime leader of Lips Down On Dixie, and full time Georgia Eye Partners ophthalmic assistant will emcee the festivities which will begin at Midnight. Door open at 11pm for ticket sales. Picture taking is encouraged.
Heading up the night’s cast as Dr. Frankenfurter is Jevocas Green, a crowd favorite, with Dustin Croft, Polina Milter, and Nyssa Daniels as Riff Raff, Magenta, and Columbia respectively. Christopher “Waldo” Sedgwick strips to his tidy whiteys to channel Barry Bostwick as Brad. Of equal caliber is Parris Broadus as Janet Weiss.
Longtime LDOD Producer Aron Siegel will play the Criminologist, while buff Zack Eidson wears the gold shorts to play the title character of Rocky Horror and newcomer Kyle “Percy” Woods wheels and deals as Dr. Scott. Zac Richarme motors onto the scene this week to play Eddie. The Luscious Lady of the Lips, the DIXIE TRIXIE for the night will be Elizabeth Norman dancing to “Science Fiction Double Feature” with an LDOD signature Burlesque striptease courtesy of cast choreographer Jevocas Green.
The Plaza Theater is over 70 years old, and is Atlanta’s only independent movie house.
Lips Down on Dixie, Incorporated, a licensed not-for-profit corporation, is one of the foremost casts in the southeast and is a proud member of The Atlanta Coalition of Performing Arts. LDOD, which performs weekly Friday midnights at the Plaza Theatre in Atlanta, strives to put on a screen-accurate performance of The Rocky Horror Picture Show. The group's devotion and attention to detail has paid off in the past, especially when a power failure forced members of the cast to sing and act sans film, accompaniment or amplification of any kind. The audience was treated to a unique experience and a more in-depth view of the talent this cast has to offer.
According to their corporate mission statement, LDOD strives to be not only a Rocky Cast, but also a full-fledged theatre organization.
