Live 'Rocky Horror' on campus
The Rocky Horror Picture
Show encourages props and
teases the ‘virgins’ to get
audience participation

Pull out the black corset and fishnet
stockings and get ready to do the "lime
Warp."
The Rocky Horror Picture Show is
back. This cult classic will be presented
in an interactive show performed by
Forbidden Fruit, a group of about 20
students who perform live shows of
Rocky Horror locally.
When Dakota Witt, an actress in For
bidden Fruit, was asked to describe the
show to someone who has never seen
it she laughed.
"It's a crazy, campy, tacky musical
with craziness, fishnets, sex and lots of
humor," Witt said, "It's definitely not
for everyone."
The people the show is "for" can en
joy one of two performances in the
EMU Ballroom on Friday or Saturday
at 9 p.m.
The UO Cultural Forum is hosting
the event again this year and is adding a
new twist from previous years. On Fri
day night, a free after-party with refresh
ments, costume contests and trivia
games will be held in the Gumwood
Room as soon as the show is over.
"The whole cast is really friendly and
we really have a lot of fun in rehearsals.
And while we're having fun, we still get
a lot done," Witt said.
Those planning to see the show
should keep a few things in mind. The
show is interactive and demands some
audience participation. For example,
when certain characters are men
tioned by name, the audience yells cer
tain things back at the screen. People
who have never seen Rocky Horror
should be able to catch on to things as
the show progresses.
There will also be certain words
tossed around at the show.
"Virgins" will be referred to quite of
ten. At Rocky Horror Picture Show, a
virgin is anyone who has never seen the
show live, and these people play an im
portant role at the event. Before the
show starts, an actor will call for all the
virgins to come up on stage. The virgins
will then be picked to participate in
"virgin games," which act as fun games

to initiate new viewers.
Some people choose to bring props
as part of their audience participation
at the show. According to Kim Cogle
the cast president of Forbidden Fruit,
bags with props and a list of the times
to use them will be available for sale at
the show.
Viewers who wish to participate
should bring a flashlight, a section of
newspaper, rubber gloves, party noise
makers, a roll of toilet paper (preferably
Scotts brand), a small bell, pieces of
toast (non-buttered), playing cards, a
small squirt gun and a handful of con
fetti, according to the official Rocky
Horror Web site at http://www.time
warp.org.uk/lvirgins.htm.
A limited number of seats are avail
able for the shows. Tickets are avail
able in advance at the UO Ticket Of
fice and are $6 for students or $8 for
the general public.
Cogle provided some advice to those
who will be seeing Rocky Horror Pic
ture Show for the first time
"Come with an open mind," she
said. "Oh, and bring toast!"
