About Us
In every organization
there comes a time when the clamor of many voice not only becomes
unnecessary, but counterproductive. Putting on a show as big
as ours is a daunting task, and as such it requires a special
strike-team to focus on it 100%.
We used to be a Cal
Poly club, but have since moved off campus to a new location.
We are now utilizing World
Rhythm & Motion's stage and studio. This wonderful location
was previously the home of Center Point Theater and is a perfect
setting for small and medium-sized performances. The theater
is surprisingly intimate with full production capabilities,
great acoustics, an attractive design and excellent sightlines.
While "ZenRoom" has been performing The Rocky Horror
Picture Show for over 15 years under the moniker of Big Purple
Onion Productions (BPOP), until 2000, BPOP was a catchy name
only. It had no formal structure and merely served to take up
a line or two in the program. The staff of BPOP was synonymous
with leadership of "ZenRoom." 2000 saw a changing
of the guard within the club structure, and the new staff heeded
the cries of the masses. The production needed definite direction.
It needed people who could be trusted to do the right thing
for the show, who would do the work that others were unwilling
or unable to do, and who would not have to worry about clearing
every single decision through the rest of the club.
With the "ZenRoom" name now defunct for
legal reasons, Big Purple Onion Productions is charged with one
function: produce the Rocky Horror Picture Show. It is made up
of sixteen individuals, headed by the Executive Producer, who
deal with all the fiddly bits of making the show happen, from
booking the theater to casting to advertising to counting and
embezzling the profits.
New staff is selected by the Executive Producer
based primarily upon experience and ability to perform the tasks
required by the positions. Positions in BPOP staff last until
you quit, we fire you, or you die - sometimes all three. BPOP
attempts to operate as a "real" professional production
company because we think the audience deserves a "real"
show.
So far the audiences seem to agree.
