OTD Jan 25th, 1992 S&T did their second staging of The Poseidon Adventure at Klubstitute, in SF CA, Here's a clip from the SFWeekly calling us America's most gender bending theatre group, (!ah) and included this fine illustration. There's got to be a morning after!

Who remembers this one? Fright Nights with The Sick & Twisted Players at the now defunct Red Vic Movie House! it didn't go over very well, people in the audience got up and went into the lobby until we were through performing to come back and sit and watch the movie only, opting out of our live "retelling". How rude!! Many people apparently had never seen the films and didn't want spoilers! LOL Happy Halloween! 🎃

FlashbackFriday. Exorcist edition. Here's a nice little picture the Bay Times ran June 17, 1993 of S&T Player's The Exorcist: A Danse Macabre . today the new Exorcist movie opens, what better time than now to post this flashback! Ghis Loree pictured as Regan.

. since the new Best of the Bay winners came out today thought it would be good timing to do a throwback to 1995 when S&T were voted Best Postmodern Theatrical Troupe. (and still trying to figure out what that means) Love n hatchets!

A fan sent this in years ago of his Barbie-Carrie at the prom, for a pic, i'd suffice to say it's timely

- from 30 years ago, here's a super rare understudy night pic of when Flynn played Mike Wilson's part of Brandon in "Texas Chainsaw 90210", 1993- L-R: Mylar, Deena Davenport, Flynn DeMarco, Don Baird, and Q-pid

Throwback to 1994, S&T's extra twisted version of Dressed to Kill, starring Stefan Grygelko as the killer. But wait, the publicity pics were to fool everyone into thinking Bobbie was the killer, but the surprise came onstage with no notice when Stefan came out as Wayland Flowers with a Madame puppet who had a teeny tiny straight razor and told dirty jokes before killing her victims. It was hysterical and my favorite role he played in The Sick & Twisted Players. for whomever has the stamina to watch an old-school low def video of the performance of it, go to archive.org and search for sick & twisted players dressed to kill. It's been banned from being posted on FB for nudity. Love and hatchets!

Hideous fashion statements from the dreaded "wide" decade - with a special nod to suburban zombie spousal units - will ravage the Castro Theatre stage Friday night as San Francisco's Sick and Twisted Players present a live fashion show, "Sick and Twisted's Summer Camp," to be followed by a screening...

RIP Stefan/Heklina (bottom left of picture, 📸 by Marc Huestis) Stefan was in MANY S&T shows and did his first drag role in "A Partridge Family Friday the 13th" among many others. Here he is at The Stepford Wives Castro Gala in 1995 Marc held with the Players posing out front. Rest In Power, You will be missed! 💔

It wouldn't be Valentine's Day without dragging this old thang out for some fun. Goddess Bless the cast for putting up with my warped vision: Michael G.Page as Snow White, Omewenne as the Evil Queen, plus Seanetta, Zeon, D'arcy Drollinger, Heklina, Deena Davenport, Bobby Withit, Phillip R. Ford, Noni Heath, Kathy Fenker, Kathy Kline, and Don Baird as d***y. Happy Valentine's Day!

Scenes from "Snow White's Bloody Valentine", An all-star fairy-tale of filth!! (a play of "My Bloody Valentine" starring Snow White). Harry Warden is killing...

On this day in 1991, 32 years ago, S&T Players debuted their first production of CARRIE at Klubstitute in SF CA. (this was the first scripted play, Poseidon Adventure the month before this was all improv) and the rest just followed. Plus there was a performance art open Mic and Miss X threatened to lip sync non-stop! Creepy Carrie Creepy Carrie, reeet reeet!

Happy Birthday to our good friend, actress Linda Blair! Here she is giving a thumbs up to The Sick & Twisted Players for hosting a charity benefit called Linda Blair Affair in SF CA in 1996. It was to promote awareness of pet theft, where pets were being stolen and sold to labs for testing. The event featured stage spoofs of The Exorcist, Born Innocent and RollerBoogie and a meet n greet with Linda afterwards. We

Pride edition 🏳️‍🌈 1994 Our meager little parade entry: a grocery cart and some balloons plastered in Poseidon Adventure play posters while we were doing some shameless self promotion along the parade route - surrounded by members of the troupe in different costumes. It was a gay ole time!
