At 10pm in Nick Chapel Theater (Trumbull College basement) on October 28th of 2023’s Halloween weekend, give yourself over to absolute pleasure and indulge in a Rocky Horror Picture Show shadow cast performance made of entirely Yale students. If you are unfamiliar with RHPS, do not fret, we will be VERY welcoming to our first-timers! If you are a RHPS veteran, enjoy. We know rallying is a must-do this upcoming Saturday night, so wearing your costume to this event is HIGHLY encouraged - the more… fun, the better!
Since its release in 1975, Rocky Horror Picture Show has been a cult classic. To this day, shadow casts perform and lip-sync live to the movie as it plays in the background. You will likely hear calls throughout the performance from seasoned viewers. Feel free to research RHPS beforehand, but just know - you need to see it to believe it.
