History

Wild And Untamed Things (nicknamed WUT among cast and show regulars) was established in 1998 when Long Beach cast Midnight Insanity, which had been using the Topanga Theater in Woodland Hills as a second monthly show for cast member training, decided to end their Woodland Hills show. Show regulars did not want to lose their local RHPS show and offered to take over the night. The theater management approved the change and Wild And Untamed Things was founded with help from Midnight Insanity cast members Emilio White and Crystal Belisle. The cast went by two separate names (first The Friday Night Regulars and later The Victimless Criminals) before settling on Wild And Untamed Things. The cast initially worked to distinguish itself from other local casts (such as Midnight Insanity and Sins O' The Flesh by performing theme nights and producing zine-style playbills for the audience each weekend. Initial cast meetings were held at a local diner and later at the homes of cast members. When the Topanga Theater closed in the early 2000s (later demolished in 2007), the cast moved to the Pacific Northridge Theater and then to the Laemmle Fallbrook 7.
