The RISE Presents The Rocky Horror Picture Show Facts
Why do people go see the The Rocky Horror Picture Show?
Richard O’Brien – the author of the Rocky Horror Picture stage show – probably said it best: “It’s a guaranteed party.” RHPS is a place to go where you’ll be accepted, whoever you are. The music is wonderful, the costumes are flashy and fun, and the film can be a wonderful vacation from reality. If you remember the ’70s, it’s a nostalgia trip. For those of us who don’t, it’s still a nice place to visit.
What should I take to the RISE Rocky Horror Event?
Yourself! Plenty of friends (optional), your ID—there will be a cash bar—and, most importantly, a sense of humor and an expectation of fun.
What about Props?
We’ve got the props covered! Your official RISE Prop Bag is included with your ticket and contains everything you’ll need to participate.
OUTSIDE PROPS—ESPECIALLY FOOD ITEMS—ARE NOT PERMITTED.
And remember, Rocky etiquette says to throw your props up and back—NEVER at the screen! .
What should I NOT take to the RISE Rocky Horror Event?

- Weapons of any kind, including water guns

- Food products, including common Rocky Horror props such as rice, toast, and hot dogs
- Confetti
Remember, we have the props covered!
What should I expect at the RISE Rocky Horror Event?
Expect to have a great time! Sure, there’s raunchiness, lame jokes, bad singing, questionable dancing, and plenty of audience participation—but that’s all part of the fun!
For the most part, Rocky Horror fans are there to have a good time and enjoy the experience alongside you.
You should also expect to get up and dance! While participation isn’t compulsory, you may find yourself as the only person in the audience still sitting during “The Time Warp.”
Just follow the golden rule: “Do what it says!” When the song tells you to “jump to the left,” jump to the left! Want to get up and boogie to the other songs? Go for it! “The Time Warp” is the only dance with specific moves, so show us your style! Learn the Time Warp Dance Here!
What’s with Audience Participation?
Audience participation is a huge part of the Rocky Horror experience! During the show, costumed audience members may make their way to the front of the theater, mimicking what is happening on-screen. Audience members also shout “callback” lines to the screen—often clever, sometimes unexpected, and occasionally a little rude. That’s all part of the experience!
The audience also uses items from the official prop bags at specific moments throughout the show. Never throw props at the movie screen. Rocky etiquette says to throw them up and back!
Pull out your prop list and study it so you’ll know when it’s time to toss, wave, or use your props!
