About the Production

This will not be a full traditional stage production. Instead, the show will be presented as a shadow cast performance.

A shadow cast features live performers acting out and highlighting key musical numbers and classic scenes while the film plays in the background. For a cult favorite like The Rocky Horror Picture Show, this format gives performers a chance to bring the movie’s iconic energy, characters, and theatrical style to life in front of an audience.

What to Expect at Auditions

Auditions will be relaxed, fun, and open to all who want to participate. Performers can expect the audition team to ask which roles they are interested in and have them complete some basic paperwork.

Audition materials such as dialogue and music will be provided for performers to use during the audition. However, those who already know which role they want may also bring their own prepared dialogue and music.

How to Prepare

Those planning to audition are encouraged to bring confidence, creativity, and a willingness to have fun.

Things to keep in mind:

🎭 Be ready to act, sing, or dance
🎶 Prepared material is welcome but not required
📝 Paperwork will be completed at the audition
🌟 No experience is needed
🚶 Auditions are first come, first audition

There are no assigned audition times, so performers may arrive during the audition window and will be seen in order.

All Are Welcome

The audition notice encourages everyone to be bold, be weird, and be themselves. This is a welcoming opportunity for performers who want to celebrate the fun, theatrical, and unforgettable spirit of The Rocky Horror Picture Show.

Anyone with additional questions is encouraged to contact the organizers directly before the audition.
