Rocky Horror PRIDE Show
2022-06-25 23:00, 2026-05-03 16:04 (America/New_York) | Maryland
Description
Rocky Horror Act, in conjunction with the Potomac Playmakers, will be hosting the Rocky Horror Pride Show on Saturday, June 25th! Frank 'N' Furter and his motley crew will be doing the time warp once again in this shadow cast performance alongside the cult classic film, Rocky Horror Picture Show. Complete with sass from the audience, cascading toilet paper, and an array of other audience participation props, this kitschy sci fi gothic is more fun than ever. This show will be much more interactive than the standard Potomac Playmakers production! Doors open at 11pm and audience members are encouraged to arrive early and enjoy all of the night's festivities, including but not limited to a photo booth, an autograph raffle, games with the cast, and more! The first three rows of the theater are considered the "consent zone." All patrons seated there during this performance give our actors permission to thrill, chill, and fulfill you – though you are still expected to keep your hands to yourself and not interrupt the actors. Participation bags filled with props for audience members to use throughout the performance will also be available at the door and are being sold for $3 each. Patrons 17 and under must be accompanied by an adult for this production – ID required. Every ticket purchased automatically enters you for a chance to win an autograph from an actor in the original Rocky Horror Picture Show film. The winner will be announced during our pre-show events.

Description
Unable to sleep, Elaine Wheeler paces the living room of her Manhattan townhouse, troubled by unsettling memories and vague fears. Her husband tries to comfort her, but when he steps away for a moment Elaine screams as she sees (or believes she sees) the body of a dead man in the window across the way. The police are called, but find nothing except an empty chair. Elaine's terror grows as shortly thereafter she sees still another body—this time a woman's—but by now the police are skeptical and pay no heed to her frantic pleas. Her husband, claiming that Elaine may be on the verge of a breakdown, calls in a lady psychiatrist, who agrees with his suggestion that Elaine should commit herself to a sanitarium for treatment. From this point on, the plot moves quickly and grippingly as those involved—Elaine's old friend and house guest Blanche; the inquisitive and rather sinister man who lives next door; and the nosy German maid Helga—all contribute to the deepening suspense and mystery of the play as it draws towards its riveting and chilling climax.

Rocky Horror Act, in conjunction with the Potomac Playmakers, will be hosting the Rocky Horror Pride Show on Saturday, June 25th!
Auditions for this shadow cast production will be held Friday, March 25th and Saturday, March 26th from 5-9 pm at the Potomac Playmakers Performing Arts Center (17303 W. Washington Street in Hagerstown).

Auditions will be staggered, so feel free to arrive at any point during those time slots. Auditions will consist of a lip sync number of your choosing, a simple line read, and an easy dance audition. You must be 18 years of age or older to audition for this production due to mature content.

This cast will largely be gender-swapped as a fun way to celebrate pride this season. As our actors’ safety and comfort is our top priority, non-binary actors are encouraged to audition for any character(s) they’re interested in. You can also talk to the director, Ellie, one-on-one about this if you want to.

Once casted, actors should expect to rehearse at least once a week up until we start tech rehearsals. Actors will also be expected to fund/provide their own costumes, but we will be certain to assist you in that process as much as possible if needed.

WE WILL ALSO BE ACCEPTING VIDEO AUDITIONS! We know this is short notice so if you’re unable to join us for in-person auditions, video submissions can be emailed to elliecoode96@gmail.com anytime between now and the end of the day on Sunday, March 27th.

**To audition or be involved with this production you must show proof of vaccination at the time of audition. Masks are also required at all times.**

If you would like to be involved behind the scenes, please e-mail the stage manager, Sam, at samwhitetheater@gmail.com for more information.
