“The Rocky Horror Picture Show” is a Halloween tradition. Every October, movie theaters, including our own Tivoli Theatre, host interactive showings. This year, student theater group Cast & Crew decided it was not content with seeing the show on screen and decided to put on the show itself. The show will premiere this weekend.
“Rocky Horror is an iconic play,” Director Steven Perlberg, a junior at Wash. U., said, “about what happens when two innocent young lovebirds enter the mysterious castle of Dr. Frank-N-Furter, a transvestite evil genius hell-bent on creating a ‘monster’ for his absolute pleasure.”
A weird show? Of course. Viewers of the Halloween screenings know that it is customary to dress in costumes and to interact with what’s happening on the screen or onstage. For this production, Perlberg told us to expect to shout “a**hole” upon hearing the name Brad. Unlike at the movie version, viewers should be advised against throwing things, as real actors will partake in the Wash. U. performance. Expect a wacky time, raunchy dance moves and maybe an orgy or two.
