CAMPUS THEATRE CLOSES FOR CORPORATE COMFORT WITH A LUXURY THEATER REPLACING THE PEARL, STUDENTS WEIGH IN ON WHETHER THEY’LL BE LINING UP AT THE BOX OFFICE. The Peofl Theatre on Avenue North ■ o loccl hotspot for North Philadelphia residents and Temple students alike • shut its doors in August, but reopened under the management of national chain AMC Theaters. Some students ore excited, others are mourning the loss of The Peorl. semester Though the films are not first-run, ticket prices are $2 for Temple students and $4 for others, making the movie theater more financially accessible. 1 haven't been to the Reel, but I know they offer lower prices and that's somewhere I'd actually consider going,' freshman Jocquelyn Oberdorf said. The Peorl was the first theater in North Philadelphia in several decodes It opened 10 years ago at 1600 N. Broad St. and was owned by a local chain that runs two other locations in Frockville, Pennsylvania. As a smoll company, the Pearl had the charm ond individuality of an independent theater AMC brings luxury, however. Under the new name AMC North Broad Street Seven, the theater will include new audiovisual equipment, plush reclining seats, CocaColo freestyle soda machines and a bar, os well as updates to the point, carpet and restrooms. 'I don't see the point of renovating the Pearl Theater, Junior Cindy Ngo said. 'It seems to be just another mcrk of gentrification I (eel like they'll use the fact rhat it’s more luxurious os a reason to roise the prices even more, which doesn't moke sense because it's poor college students, specifically poor Temple students that are their main source of revenue, she said. The AMC will compete with. The Reel Cinema, o cheaper on-campus theater. The Reel Cinema, beaded in the lower level of the Student Center South, shows movies two weekends eoch month during the AMC may also hove trouble convincing students that watching movies in theater is more comfortable than on friends' couches. 'My roommates and I spend most of our movie-watching time on Netflix, Oberdorf said. Big theaters do not have to worry too much about moviegoers, as some students ore willing to pay for the full experience that only a theater con offer: The excitement of seeing a new film for the first time on a big screen, surrounded by sound and an audience there for the same reason. 'The monies have always been a place where I can forget my problems for a few hours ond just bosk in the art of the film and the comfort of other moviegoers senior Elizabeth Tartaglia sa d. While avid theatergoers will likely find a haven in the new AMtC, those students with tighter wallers or who emphesize the charm of independent companies may be harder Jo woo.

LET’S DO THE TIME WARP, AGAIN ROCKY HORROR IS PASSED TO A NEW GENERATION Credits rolled on the Reel Cinema's screen Oct. 29. concluding this year's run of Rocky Horror Picture Show. For the show’s director ond founder Reanne AAoskort. who groduoted in the Foil, it was also the end of an era. Temple's annual production features a shadow cos! of student octors who recite lines, sing and dance along to a screening of the 1975 cult classic comedy horror film. In the tradition of the midnight screenings, audience members are encouraged to shout raunchy callbacks during the movie and throw props like toast and rice at the screen. The show began four years ago when Student Center Operations Monager Kaitfyn Howarth asked the Queer Student Union to cosponsor a screening of the film accompanied by o small singabng. Theater major student, Moskart, and events coordinator for the dub, had grander plans in mind. 'I laid out what budget I wanted, rehearsal period and how long ! wanted for that, what kind of costume pieces i was gonna need, and o whole run of things that any big production would hove, AAaskart said. Rehearsals started only two weeks before the premiere. AAaskart juggled the roles of director, stage manager, costume designer, prop person and emcee. The single showtime sold out quickly. A Friday show was added, but sold out os well. With AAaskart at the helm. Rocky Horror grew in the coming years. Senior Jessica Boor, who was in the ensemble lost year and starred os the norrator this year, soid AAaskart crectes a production people wont to join. The show is fun, it's silly, it’s weird, but there's so much more to it, Boor soid '[AAoskort] guides the cost to understand that deeper meaning, so we hove o better opprec ation, but [AAaskart] also understands that it is fun, [ond knows] how to bring that out in the cost ond bnng that out in the audience.' AAore than anything, AAaskart is proud of the relationships the show helped forge. 'Every year at the end of the production, I'm looking ot o group of people that are oil dose friends with ore another, ond months before, they were introducing themselves for the first time, AAoskori soid. “The whole process in just o month ond a half has brought them to the point that they're going to be friends for the rest of their college experience.’ AAoskort passed the torch to sophomore theater major Sophia Wnek. She joined the production lost year to do hair and makeup, but also assisted with lights, props and costume changes. This dedication prompted AAoskort to promote her to codirector this year and director for the next She's always willing to go above and beyond for everyone and everything,' AAaskart said. Wnek is excited to moke the production her own Far example, she is planning to teach the ensemble some of the clossic callbacks, in case the audience does not know them. Still, there ore elements of AAoskort’s leadership she hopes to commemorate. [AAaskart] is very assertive ond not afraid to say something,' Wnek said. “I'm more quiet and passive. [Maskort's] leadership skills are beyond anything I’ve ever seen anyone do. For AAoskort, soying goodbye is bittersweet. ‘I know that I've fostered enough of a community thot it doesn’t need me in thot same way,' AAoskort said. “But I know that I’ll always be grateful for Rocky Horror.'
