If it’s your first time to a screening of the Rocky Horror Picture Show, you’re in for a wild ride.  One of the first things you’ll notice is that this film is interactive with numerous opportunities throughout for raunchy callbacks and participation.  However, since there are far too many callback cues in the script to list briefly, we suggest you simply sit back, relax, and join in the fun as best you can.  If you’re determined to immerse yourself fully in the experience, we applaud you and suggest a little internet research: there are a wealth of resources online where folks are quite happy to fill you in on all of the appropriate moments for public impropriety.
Another aspect of the Rocky Horror interactive experience is the use of props.  With the exception of a few items that don’t comply with theatre policy, the Galaxy is graciously permitting us to use many of the usual props for this screening. Here is the official list of approved props (N.B., if it’s not on the list, please don’t bring it.)  With this list, we invite you to prepare according to your deepest desires:
