About Us

Enter at your own risk!! 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.
