Uh, Rocky Horror?
My first Rocky Horror movie experience was in 1982 (or something) when a bunch of DQ’s (Drama Queers, not Drag Queens… although some of them… never mind) and I went out on Friday nights in Georgetown down in Washington DC. I was all of 13 or 14. It scared me. Then at Disclave 85, I saw a viewing with a more subdued audience and I was hooked. When I joined Prune Bran in 1989, a lot of them were Rocky Cast Members from Greenbelt. I learned a lot from them, and gained a life-long friend, Brad (who has played every part, literally, even Janet). Brad and I have been hosting Rocky Horror for science fiction conventions for over five years. I have never been in a “cast” and only once played the Narrator (and very badly, I might add). Mostly what Brad and I do is do some of the “stage props” (do things to the screen), read out the rules, protect the AV equipment, and introduce Rocky to those who have no idea what they are about to experience. Don’t dream it, be it.
