History


Michael Baribeau born 1964, active in small community theater in Rockford and barbershop chorus and quartets in Grand Rapids and Muskegon. Introduced to RHPS back in high school in the 1980s, Michael says it's actually nostalgic for him and that it's a great party and escapism like Mardi Gras, plus you get to meet some of the most wonderful people in the world. First performance was as Brad for The Full Rocky shadowcast for their inaugural show 08/07/16 photos link here at age 52 at Grand Rapids MI Celebration! Cinema North & IMAX. Frequently plays Brad but working on his 'bingo card' of characters played which, to date, include Brad, Janet, Crim, Riff Raff, Rocky, Frank, Trixie, and show emcee. Also annual shadowcast performance for Williamston MI Sun Theatre organized by Ariel Rogers 10/27/17 photos link here, for TFR outdoors at Muskegon Getty Drive In Theatre 10/28/17 photos link here, and for TFR at Celebration! Cinema Lansing & IMAX 03/03/18 photos link here. Began performing as Brad for The Denton High Drama Club at Harbor Cinema in Muskegon MI for its inaugural show 08/19/17 photos link here. He has also participated in numberous preshow skits including for TFR 10/07/17 early Halloween show as a Scotsman reciting a slightly adapted version the poem Tam O'Shanter with virgins acting out the spooky and funny poem of witches and drinking photos link here and video link here. Also the Scotsman made another appearance for DHDC 03/17/18 St Patty's Day performing with audience participation The drunk Scotsman song photos link here. He was made DHDC Assistant Director January 2018 and then Director March 2018. He is currently an alumni of TFR with guest performances. Debut show for The Full Rocky at Crossroads Celebration! Cinema Portage MI as Frank 10/13/18. Debut show for Denton High Drama Club as Devil Emcee, Crim, and Scooby Doo (as the gargoyle at castle entrance and the dogs Magenta released to chase Rocky) at Wealthy Theatre Grand Rapids MI 10/30/18.

Dubbed the nick name Sweet Pea when at the first cast rehearsal of Denton High Drama Club 07/30/17 and before it started several members were getting coffee and pop at a local convenience store. The clerk referred to each cast member/customer as the affectionate name 'sweet pea' but when Michael stepped up to the counter she instead addressed him as, 'you need to spend more than $5 to use a debit card', this made Sammy Scrivener blow ice coffee out her nose and Jamie Arnold-Page nick named him Sweet Pea.

Michael's Movie Analysis


Context is everything and Rocky Horror Picture Show is a parody... par·o·dy /ˈperədē/ noun 1. an imitation of the style of a particular writer, artist, or genre with deliberate exaggeration for comic effect. ...like King Arthur vs Monty Python and the Holy Grail, Frankenstein vs Young Frankenstein, and Star Wars vs Spaceballs. Not only was RHPS a parody of Frankenstein, Dracula, The Old Dark House, alien invasion, B-rated movies, and coming-of-age movies, but also of sexuality. The audience members dress in cosplay of the movie characters, one of the hallmark outfits being dark corsets, heels, and fishnet stockings, for all sexes, and also for those who want to dress in drag and be in a friendly environment. It's all just good dirty fun but for tamer tastes try a showing without the shadow cast. As for how it used to be there's a YouTube recording of Say It! The Rocky Horror Picture Show Audience Participation Album. Original Release Date: September 26, 1975 that was also pretty racy... enjoy!
