Cast History

The Fan Club was formed by Robert Sebek at Virginia Tech in the Spring of 1992 in preparation for a performance at the Virginia Tech Union's WinterFest. While the VTU had put on showing of Rocky Horror before, it was felt that forming the cast into an organization of their own would make it easier to reserve practice space, and so the group has since operated as a registered student organization on the VT campus. Since then, the Tolls of Madness Cast has put on many performances in Squires Student Center Commonwealth Ballroom and other venues. In 1995, the Fan Club got funding from the Student Government Budget Board in order to put on a show celebrating the 20th anniversary of the release of the film.
