Joe's Radio Show Returns with a Rockin Horror Show

After 2 months away from the radio station Joe returns to do another radio show episode only this time he's back and better than ever, starting off with a new radio show intro which sounds fantastic, and announcing todays theme which was Rocky Horror Show.

The Rocky Horror Show was a long-running British horror comedy stage musical, which opened in London on the 19th of June in 1973. It was written by Richard O'Brien, and produced and directed by Jim Sharman. It came eighth in a BBC Radio 2 listener poll of the "Nation's Number One Essential Musicals". It tells the story of a newly engaged couple getting caught in a storm and coming to the home of a mad transvestite scientist unveiling his new creation, a muscle man named Rocky Horror. The musical was adapted into the 1975 film The Rocky Horror Picture Show, which today has a worldwide cult following and has the longest running release in film history.

Joe Boy has released some tracks of his Stage Musical Collection Album which features cover tracks of his favorite stage musical songs such as Sweet Transvestite and I'm Going Home which are both from the Rocky Horror Show itself.

Creative Media - Photoshop

Photoshop is a graphics editing program developed and published by Adobe Systems. Adobe's 2003 "Creative Suite" rebranding led to Adobe Photoshop 8's renaming to Adobe Photoshop CS. Thus, Adobe Photoshop CS5 is the 12th major release of Adobe Photoshop. The CS rebranding also resulted in Adobe offering numerous software packages containing multiple Adobe programs for a reduced price. Adobe Photoshop is released in two editions: Adobe Photoshop, and Adobe Photoshop Extended, with the Extended having extra 3D image creation, motion graphics editing, and advanced image analysis features.

Creative Media

Creative media is a unique medium with its own set of tools, behaviours and etiquettes. So to really make an impact, theatres need to be prepared to invest time, manpower and most importantly, imagination, into their creative media strategy. Then, and only then can they expect to see real results, both financially and artistically.
With social media becoming more and more integrated into the way we communicate, interact and do business, the possibilities for theatres and theatres companies to use social media to promote, innovate and engage are limited only by their imagination (which for creative theatre types means the possibilities are endless).
