Collegian Staff
Some night when you and your
friends are just twiddling your
thumbs, here's something new
and exciting you may want to
check out: The Rocky Horror
Picture Show" at Pittsburgh’s
Hollywood Theater.
The show takes place every
Saturday night at midnight.
“The Rocky Horror Picture
Show” started in 1973 in London
as a stage play and is now
considered "the queen of the cult
movies."
The film starts with the
"goody-two-shoes" couple, Brad
and Janet (Barry Bostwick and
Susan Saradon), who get a flat

Frank N. Furter (Tim Curry),
who is hosting a party to unveil
his latest creation: the muscle

Brad and Janet are taken captive
in the bizarre castle. The plot
grows more complex as Dr.
Everett Scott arrives and the
servants plot to take over.
At the Hollywood Theater, the
actual film is only half of the
"Rocky Horror Picture Show”
experience.
The Junior Chamber of
Commerce Players perform the
show right in front of the screen.
They use costumes, props, and
homemade puppets as characters.
Audience participation is part
of the "Rocky Horror Picture
Show.” Rice is thrown during a
wedding scene and squirt guns are
used to simulate rain. The
audience shouts out crude and
