Memphis Rocky Horror: "A Toast to 'Absent Friends'"

02/18/2026

A Toast: To Absent Friends.

Thank you for your incredible support over the years, especially those who joined us for our performances.

It has been a strange, yet memorable, journey, but now it is the end of an era. Absent Friends took our final bow in 2025, concluding with our 150th show, hosted by Barry Bostwick at the Orpheum Theatre for the 50th anniversary of RHPS in October. It was a wonderful and exciting experience, and we are proud of the history we built over the last 15 years.

From our first partial show in 2010, and our unique non-picture show (iykyk) to our various pre-show events, plus navigating a worldwide pandemic to perform for five more years, we bow.

We appreciate each and every one of you. We leave you with this: "Don't Dream it — BE IT!"

Thank you,

Absent Friends 2010-2025
