IT ALL BEGINS FRIDAY JULY 13TH
Landmark’s Bridge Theatre is presenting its TENTH annual summer midnight movie series!
Hostess Peaches Christ is back again to celebrate her big ten-year anniversary with eight weeks of midnight movie insanity sure to satisfy the appetites of cult film fans everywhere. She assures us however that the films are only the beginning. Be more afraid of her legendary and award winning pre-show! Midnight Mass has grown to become a uniquely San Franciscan phenomenon attracting sell-out crowds in the Bay Area and beyond. Peaches Christ and Midnight Mass are also the subjects of a brand new national TV show!
OPENING WEEKEND EVENTS
The season kick-off features an epic weekend of mind-blowing entertainment celebrating Ten Years of Midnight Mass with an unprecedented live appearance by Peaches’ hometown idol, legendary filmmaker John Waters! Together at last, John Waters and Peaches Christ unite on Saturday, July 14th for a Dreamland tribute, rare onstage interview with Mr. Waters, audience Q&A, and a post-show autograph signing in the lobby of the theatre. This precedes a screening of Peaches’ all-time favorite John Waters film Female Trouble.
The John Waters pre-show will be the second of two completely different 10 Year Anniversary shows happening on the same weekend. On Friday, July 13th, Peaches presents the ultimate Midnight Mass Birthday Party & Variety Show co-hosted by cult film icon and Midnight Mass veteran Mink Stole! The John Waters Superstar headlines her own band and will be singing live as part of this Mass retrospective. Ms. Stole and Peaches emcee an evening of entertainment featuring “Midnight Past” performances by Heklina, Putanesca, Peggy L’eggs, and Peaches’ notoriously flawed sidekick Martiny. That’s not all! The 10 Year Party marks the Midnight Mass return of Faster Pussycat! Kill! Kill! supervixen Tura Satana! That’s right, Tura Satana joins Peaches Christ and Mink Stole at a birthday party not to be missed. All of this and more precede a screening of John Waters’ Desperate Living starring…your co-hostess Mink Stole!
TWO NIGHTS WITH ELVIRA!
The closing weekend of Midnight Mass Season 10 features a frighteningly fantastic two nights of classic spook-show entertainment starring the one and only Elvira, Mistress of the Dark! Cassandra Peterson returns to the Midnight Mass stage this summer but this time in full drag as her world famous altar-ego Elvira! The dreadful duo of Peaches Christ and Elvira promise a hair-raisingly ghoulish evening of entertainment preceding Creature from the Black Lagoon (in 3D!) on August 24th and Peter Jackson’s gore-tastic Dead Alive on August 25th.
As (soon to be) seen on TV!
And the glamour does not stop there! Peaches Christ and Midnight Mass are the subjects of a national TV show airing on the Hdnet Movie Channel beginning in late summer 2007. The thirty-minute show is called Midnight Mass With Your Hostess Peaches Christ and will air before un-interrupted high-definition televised screenings of Peaches’ favorite films. The show is being executive produced by Mark Cuban and Hdnet. Audience members are encouraged to dress in costume for the camera crews on-hand at almost every show this summer!
