Meet the Cast – Ren

1. What was your first Rocky Horror experience?
the first time i ever saw the rocky horror picture show was at a halloween party, after a friend suggested it since no one else had any good ideas. once it was over i had no idea what i had just watched but i was a little intrigued. it took me a few times of watching it again and again to even understand the plot, but once i did i started loving it more and more!!

2. What made you get involved in MiRPHS?
i came to the Mardi gras show to see who i knew on cast, and immediately knew…it was my destiny. i was drawn to the general atmosphere of the community and everyone knowing and supporting each other, and the dedication this cast has to a fairly niche media that i enjoy so much

3. Favorite Costume piece(s)?
my favorite i’ve worn is definitely Brad’s pirate theme show outfit. something about pirates just gets me and it’s so SHINY!!?! my favorite that i haven’t worn (yet? fingers crossed??) is definitely Frank’s veterans day costuming. every time i see it my mind explodes a little and i could probably stare at it on the costuming rack for an hour straight

4. Besides Rocky, what are some other hobbies you take part in?
painting and other mediums of traditional art, antiquing & thrifting, gaming(especially overwatch, pokemon, and zelda)

5. What is/are your top favorite character(s) to play?
i just did my first show as Riff Raff and had an absolute blast! he has a lot of weird and strange energy that is very fun to play off of and just let loose and be wacky with.

6. What does your ideal Sunday look like?
shower at 4 am after getting home and finding snacks, sleep in as late as i can, get some good food, and watch a DIFFERENT movie

7. How do you relax?
big noise cancelling headphones & my little places to sit outside, or a fun show to only half pay attention to while i catch pokemon

8. What kind of movies do you like?
big fan of fantasy & some sci fi, comedy, and…i honestly enjoy surrealist films

9. Top Favorite MiRHPS Theme Show(s)?
EASTER!!!! EASTER THEME SHOW!! PASTEL PRETTY COLORS!!!!!!!! LITTLE BUNNY EARS FOR EVERYONE!!!!!!!!!!!!! Pride is a close second, also a lot of pretty colors, but also one of the best queer spaces i’ve ever been in ever. everyone celebrating being gay & trans with this gay & trans movie woohoo!!!!!
