We always have so much fun performing that we often forget to take pictures! If you have any pictures of the show, of you at the photo station with your friends, pictures of you with the cast members - drop them in the comments! Who knows - maybe you'll see them pop up on our feed next time we're talking about how awesome the show is! 👄

🎭✨ Thank You! Love, The Lucky Banisters! ✨🎭

This Halloween marked something truly special — the 50th anniversary of The Rocky Horror Picture Show, a film that has been a guiding light for half a century. For so many, it’s been more than a movie — it’s been a home, a celebration of joy, weirdness, and unapologetic self-expression. We’re so proud to carry that torch forward here in Marysville. 💋

This was our 4th year performing Rocky, and what an incredible milestone it’s been. With the show last night, we’ve officially sold over 1,000 tickets since The Lucky Banisters began! Each one of those represents a person who chose to join our wild little family — and to that, we say thank you.

To our amazing partners:
❤️ The Avalon Theatre — thank you for being our theatre home and for your continued support. We’re thrilled to officially announce that we’ll be back again next year for Halloween 2026 — and we can’t wait to Time Warp again… and again… and again!
💃 The Academy — your generosity in sharing your space has been the backbone of our rehearsals since the very beginning. We truly couldn’t do this without you.
🌈 And most of all — to our incredible community in and around Marysville, thank you for showing up, dressing up, and filling the room with laughter and love. You remind us why we do this every year.

The Lucky Banisters is a constantly growing family — one where everyone is welcome, no matter who they are or how they show up. Our mission is simple: to celebrate individuality, foster acceptance, and create a space where every person feels seen, valued, and free to be exactly who they are.

👕✨ Our 50th Anniversary Celebration shirts are still on sale for one more week — so grab one while you can! You can also support us year-round (and one of our awesome local business partners, Graphic Stitch) through our online merch store:
👉 https://graphicstitch.com/shop/ols/categories/lucky-banisters

Support local, support us, and look sexy doing it. 😈💋

Here’s to many more shows, more memories, and more moments of joyful chaos.
From the bottom of our hearts — thank you for keeping the magic alive. 💜
