'Kay, so I'm writing a paper for my Dramatic Theory class. The topic: The audience as performer. Times when the line between audience and actor becomes so blurred that the audience BECOMES a performer...something like that. (It makes perfect sense in my mind.) :P My case study: The Rocky Horror Show. I'm really going to try to laser in on the stage musical. Now, I'm going to have to bring in the film, because most of the secondary sources revolve around the film and film showings.
I know there are some Rocky Horror die-hards on this board - stories, sources, a kick in the right direction? I'm going to talk to my professor if I can use anecdotes from the board - this is a theory paper, not a research paper, so I think it'll fly. The only thing I ask is that you specify what kind of show you saw/participated in; was it: a) a live performance of The Rocky Horror Show (the stage muscial), b) a showing of The Rocky Horror Picture Show with NO live performers, or c) a showing of The Rocky Horror Picture Show with a live 'speak along/sing along' cast.
Thanks guys!!
