Ever seen the Rocky Horror Picture Show? Sure you have. Ever seen it done by members of Broken Social Scene, Apostle of Hustle, The Hidden Cameras, Kids on TV, Republic of Safety, the Old Soul, the Phonemes, and reportely a guest appearance by Sook Yin Lee? I doubt it. Now scratch Rocky Horror and change it to Pee Wee's Big Adventure and you have what promises to be one of the Toronto events of the year.
The Cast (see below) will reenact the movie as it appears on the screen. All of this as a fundraiser for the Toronto Cyclists Union and will appear for two shows only at the Bloor Cinema, Thursday May 29, at 7 PM and again at 9:30 PM.
