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, Eddie, Dr. Scott, 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 numerous 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!

Retro Rocky Video Game for Windows from 1985 Commodore 64
This is how I spent my Sunday... free windows download of the 1985 Commodore 64 The Rocky Horror Show Original T.V. Game!!... it was a challenging but worth the, wait for it, antici...pation if you're interested in the retro games. If you're as big a geek as me here's how I did it. If you know a better option, browser versions, or similar RHPS games let me know! To play on your pc you need the game and a Commodore 64 emulator both available free online. The game is available free at this link...
1985 Commodore 64 The Rocky Horror Show Original T.V. Game!!
...automatically downloads the file, to the lower left of the window 'The-Rocky-Horror... .zip' is visible. Click the download and a Windows Explorer window opens, in it's browser window at the top you can see the file name after 'Downloads' so it's in the Downloads directory. Click in the browser window where it says Downloads and you'll see all your downloaded files and the Rocky game should be highlighted. On the far left margin are directory/folder locations so left click the Rocky folder and while holding the click down drag the Rocky game to the top directory 'Desktop' and let go and it will now be on your Desktop.
An online emulator is avaiable at the next link but I have trouble controlling the characters with it...
To download the emulator instead to play the game watch the tutorial...
- NOTE* to open the game the tutorial steps are for the wrong type of file so watch the tutorial but also at least read the instructions with * below, if you're computer savvy you can skip a lot of the instructions below. The tutorial provides the link for the free Commodore 64 emulator which is...
...there may be a delay as the website loads and might even have to back out then go back into page, then scroll down and click the underlined fine print that says 'Alternative download link', it opens a new window and after 15 seconds of ads you'll see the button 'Download Your File' and click it. Using the same method as moving the Rocky game file, move the WinVICE emulator to the Desktop directory so the same as the Rocky game. Then after drag and drop, left click the Desktop to see all the files and folders in that directory including both the Rocky game and the WinVICE emulator. Right click the zipped Rocky game and select 'Extract all', in the new window at the bottom click the button Extract and it will copy an unzipped version of the Rocky game folder, then back in the directory you can then delete the zipped file which will have the same name but end in .zip, then follow the same steps for the WinVICE emulator. Follow the tutorial opening the unzipped WinVICE folder, make a 'roms' folder, in the Rocky game folder right click and drag and drop a copy of the t64 file into roms, in the WinVICE folder double click x64 to open the Commodore emulator window (pc screen may go black a couple times), the menu options at the top of the emulator window click Settings, select 'Joystick settings', change joystick in port 1 & 2 to Keyset A & B, don't advise selecting 'Config Keyset' buttons to change settings.
- Recommend at this point to select Options and click 'Double size' (don't use 'full screen' yet until comfortable). The video tutorial has you select a d64 program but Rocky game only has t64 so select that but when the tutorial tells you to select File then select 'attache disk image' don't because it won't have access to the file and instead select File then 'autostart disk/tape image', Autostart window make sure 'Look in' window has roms folder, 'Files fo type' select window drop down and select 'All files', then double click Rocky t64 file. It takes half a minute to start and the emulator screen will scramble and stuff.
Spacebar to end the Jack Alien/Remember Proudly Presents screen. For the next screen 'The Rocky Horror Show +7' for standard game play repeatedly press N (no) to cycle through all the questions/options but if you want the game super easy repeatedly press Y (yes) instead. Spacebar ends 'Enter At Your Own Risk' screen. 'J' key selects Janet, 'B'. A is up, Z down, N left, M right, Spacebar to pick up items, M to stop the end title screen. In options if select 'full screen' will lose menu options so to get out of emulator screen use keyboard Esc or key with windows icon next to alt key, to end full screen after you Esc then in the bottom toolbar you have right click the VICE emulator, 'close window' (computer screen might blink black a couple times), then reopen like before.
Game objective is collect tiles of the DeMedusa machine and put them on the flashing screen on the curtained stage. You can only carry one tile and a key at a time. If you loose your clothes you first have to get them back before you can pick up anything else. You have to assemble the DeMedusa machine before the thermometer temp gets too high.
fwiw above I provided the direct game download link but the page the game is available on is...
...beware there are many ads that look like download options, scroll down to the heading Commodore 64 Version and beneath that is a button that says 'Download 36k' with a UK flag and click it or use this link and download directly...
Also the t64/d64 instruction were at this link...
