The Cheap Little Punks
A Rocky Horror Picture Show Shadow Cast in Vancouver, BC
OUR NEXT SHOW
Our next show will be taking place at the Rio Theatre (located on Broadway at Commercial)... time TBA!
We're also looking for some cast members to round out our merry brood - specifically we need a Criminologist, a Dr. Scott and some (screen-accurate-ish) Transylvanians. Think you have what it takes? Check out the AUDITION FAQ!

The Cheap Little Punks are a collection of actors, burlesque dancers, musicians, teachers, comic book illustrators and Rocky Horror fans who are carrying on a 35-year-old tradition!
We perform in Vancouver's historic Rio Theatre and have been described as "the best Rocky Horror experience...ever seen in Vancouver" and "a ton of fun".
Tickets are $10 or $8 in costume, making Rocky Horror the cheapest evening of live theatre in Vancouver (in the grand tradition of Rocky Horror casts).
Never been to Rocky Horror? We will indoctrinate you!
Don't know what to bring? We will sell you a prop bag full of things to throw... for only $2!
Rocky Horror with The Cheap little Punks is the most fun you'll have at a 360 degree interactive musical with transvestites, people getting shot with nerf guns, and rice falling down your pants this year. We guarantee it.
I'm scared. What goes on there?!
If you've never seen the movie in a theatre before, you may or may not get brought up on stage and laughed WITH, but we won't do anything you're uncomfortable with. In addition to the movie, we usually show a short Rocky-related movie (we're talking like two minutes) and do a pre-show that involves The Rules (they're not too extreme) and the Rocky Horror Virgin Sacrifice (also not too extreme). Then the movie, with a live performance and lots of yelling from people who have seen the movie before. Oh, and people are going to throw stuff. It will end up in your pants. Embrace it.
I WANT TO BE IN YOUR SHADOW CAST LET ME IN I MUST DO THIS
That is not a question. We like new people on two conditions: You work props for at least one show to prove you're committed, and work hard to make an impressive costume. And work hard at learning your part, but that goes without saying, right? Email the cast director with promises of magnificence.
Can you guys perform at my school/bat mitzvah/pool party/whatever?
For a nominal fee, sure, we're all yours. We come with pre-shows, shenanigans, a full shadow casting of the movie, and peripherals such as prop bags and (un-used) toilet paper to sell. Email us for a quote and more information.
