Bay Theater Hosts Halloween Fundraiser for The Rock
Morro Bay is set to get funky and freaky for Halloween with a special showing of The Rocky Horror Picture Show at 6 p.m. Monday, Oct. 28, at the Bay Theater.
The show is a fundraiser for 97.3 FM The Rock community radio station and comes on the heels of a really fun showing of The Big Lebowski, which played to a sold-out crowd.
Bay Theater owner Cameron Wilson said, “This is a perfect movie for us to partner up and support the Rock, a unique, freeform, non-commercial local radio station; it’s kind of like the rug that ties the Community together.”
Released in 1975, Rocky Horror Picture Show is a rock musical, sci-fi comedy, and horror film that has gained cult status in the ensuing decades since it first hit the big screen and then became a staple of Saturday Night creature features at movie houses throughout the world.
Starring Tim Curry as the evil scientist and extraterrestrial, Dr. Frank-N-Furter, and a spooky house filled with oddball characters and handsome monsters. The movie rates 85 percent in Rotten Tomato’s viewer scoring and 80 percent by reviewers.
Tickets are $15 a person and available online in advance by visting TheRockCommunityRadio.org. Tickets will also be available on the night of the show.
Wine and Beer will be available for purchase and attendees are encouraged to dress like their favorite characters in the show (or your best Halloween garb).
The Bay Theater is located at 464 Morro Bay Blvd., in Downtown Morro Bay.
The Rock (also at 107.9 FM The Rock in Paso Robles) is an all-volunteer, non-profit, community radio station playing an eclectic mix of music genres and featuring citizen DJs spinning their favorite tunes.
The Rock connects the Central Coast “with hyper-local, engaging, creative community-based FM radio and online programming.” They also “provide public safety programming, emergency preparedness education, and emergency alert announcements for Paso Robles, Templeton, Atascadero, Morro Bay, Los Osos, and Cayucos.”
