RHPS/Halloween 12:01

Dear Ryan,
I attended your production of the Rocky Horror Picture Show on Halloween, 12:01 with a large group of friends. As a longtime fan of the RHPS, I must agree with the dissatisfaction which took place at your location last night. I have been to, and participated in many locations/productions throughout the years and found last nights show to be disturbing for the following reasons. First , let me say, that "Yes, laughter is the best medicine", however, this only holds true if done in the right context . The remark made from one of the cast ( I was seated 2 rows behind him), referring to the recent tragedy of the Rutgers University student was not only quite insensitive , but after the remark was made, your cast member turned to his colleague, gloated and laughed at the fact that he had received "negative feedback" from many regarding his statement. I personally found this offensive. Although I am very open minded and believe in having a sense of humor, I did not find his statements or attitude one of compassion or sensitivity to the gay and lesbian community, therefore find it perplexing that you would state you receive "blessings" from the gay & lesbian community to also include the statements he made. in the production.
As for being responsible for overzealous fans, yes, this can be a difficult task to control. I was seated in the row behind the individual with the hat who's overzealous and poor timing were not only disturbing to me, but to many other patrons seated within the same area as he was. It was quite unfortunate that he was allowed to continue in the way he did for such a long period of time before being asked to leave.
I am fully aware, that each production of the RHPS holds it's uniqueness which allows it's fans to leave the show having had an awesome experience, as well as for those first time attendees wanting to return. Sadly, this was not the case that night.
The RHPS is a legend in it's own right. One which should promote an awesome experience for those of us who have been fans for many years, and future fans to come.
I would hope that you consider any and all complaints more as "positive feedback", rather than negative input.
RHPS Fan,
Linnzee
