A Tribute to the Music of ‘The Rocky Horror Picture Show’
50th Anniversary Celebration
Movie Screening with Live Jam & Sing-along
Featuring Kevin Spyker & Friends
Saturday October 18th @ 7pm
Tickets: $15

Celebrating 50 YEARS of doing The Time Warp, Kevin Spyker (guitar, vocals & sound effects) along with members of the Belmar Arts Music Collective (horns, piano & percussion) will play along as we watch and sing to 'The Rocky Horror Picture Show' — the 1975 independent musical comedy horror film featuring an epic ensemble cast including Tim Curry, Susan Sarandon, Barry Bostwick, Charles Gray, even rock icon Meat Loaf! With over a dozen rousing songs throughout the film, this cult classic has stood the test of time...

For half a century, enthusiastic audiences have been flocking to off-beat theaters to continue a wild and care-free tradition of viewing the film, mirrored by a troupe of actors with simple props and plenty of rowdy crowd participation -- like throwing rice, popcorn and playing cards. While we’ll be focusing on the soundtrack over theatrics, we do welcome our audience to join us in singing along and dancing The Time Warp together!

Join us to celebrate the innovative cinematography, choreography and quirky songs that take us on the adventure of a naive young couple whose car breaks down in the rain near a castle, where they search for help. This mysterious lair is teeming with strangers in elaborate costumes, dancing with their host Dr. Frank N. Furter, a fabulously mad scientist who creates a living muscle man named Rocky….

Creative attire encouraged, refreshments available for donation, and feel free to bring your favorite movie night snacks and beverages :)

—— Don’t Dream It, Be It! —--

In the spirit of collaboration and appreciation for musical brilliance, we bring you our monthly concert series — pairing tunes from legendary masters of rock, along with some unsung heroes following in their footsteps. Settle in for an intimate vibe akin to MTV Unplugged, Storytellers and Behind the Music, as singer/guitarist Kevin Spyker performs timeless hits and hidden gems, accompanied by an array of instrumentalists from the Belmar Arts music collective.

Reserve your seats for our series launch on May 18th — highlighting the music of rock icon Tom Petty, with an opening set honoring the up-and-coming band known as Dawes...each month we will tribute two different bands.

Between songs we’ll share some history and fun facts about our featured songsters.

We’re honored to name our tribute series after the memorable Dawes song / album “All Your Favorite Bands” with the anthemic refrain:

“I hope that life without a chaperone is what you thought it'd be,

I hope your brother's El Camino runs forever,

I hope the world sees the same person that you've always been to me,

And may all your favorite bands stay together!”

Celebrate the magic of autumn at Thompson Park Day! Activities include pumpkin painting, scarecrow contest, wagon rides, kids' races, rides, ceramics, climbing wall, archery, live entertainment, pottery demonstrations, food vendors and a day of fun for the whole family. Free admission, free parking
