The Rocky Horror Picture Show has been playing regularly as a midnight movie for more than 30 years. This film is the ultimate cult classic: Shadow Casts act out numbers from the film while the movie plays and encourages the raucous humor and call backs from the often costumed audience. The Live Performers in Rosendale includes: Doug Motel, John Cox, Dylan Glenn-Johanson, Claudia Brown, Carrie Wykoff and others!
Audience members are encouraged get involved too, dress up and singing along, if so inclined, (lyrics to some songs will be projected), by shouting "call-backs" during the performance and dancing The Time Warp. Organizers ask that you don't throw anything on stage keep the rice and water at home, please. Before the show, prop bags containing newspaper, toilet paper, noisemakers, latex gloves and a glow stick will be sold. The cast, crew, and regular attendees teach the Virgins (people who haven't seen the show) when to yell the appropriate call back lines, the use of props, and how to do the "Time Warp." An open Time Warp rehearsal will take place at the Rosendale Theatre on October 23rd at 6pm. All willing Transylvanians are welcome to attend!
