RKO was founded on 2 Nov 1979 by Chris Van Parys and Lily Walker at the Lorenzo Theatre in San Lorenzo, CA, and was one of the first full-time casts in Northern California.
Chris had previously performed at the UC Theatre in Berkeley as Magenta (before a cast had been established there), and then performed briefly during the summer of 79 in Double Feature at the Strand in San Francisco as a Transylvanian.
Chris intentionally modelled RKO after Double Feature/Celluloid Jam, the first cast to put on a full, choreographed performance during Rocky.
