Are you interested in appearing on stage for this year’s Rocky Horror Picture Show, a joint production between the WYO Performing Arts and Education Center and Trident Theatre?
Fill out the form below!
This will be the 4th year consecutively that The Rocky Horror Picture Show has been on the main stage at the WYO Theater, and the show has gotten bigger every year! Traditionally, this has been a shadow cast of lip sync artists acting out certain parts of the show while the movie plays behind them, as you see in the picture above.
Auditions will be held in the Mars Black Box Theater at the WYO on Friday Sept. 13, 2024 from 7:00p to 9:00p. For auditions, you will be asked to perform something of a sexy burlesque dance to a song from the movie. You may be asked to perform other scenes from the movie as well.
Rehearsals will take place in the evenings, Wed-Friday from Sept. 18, 2024 until the week of performance. The show has one date of performance: Thursday, October 31, 2024.
Any and all are welcome! (18+ preferred. Anyone under 18 will require parental permission)
DISCLAIMERS
While this is usually meant to be a good time with a burlesque feel, there are several precautions to take into account:
- This show is very sexual in nature. While it is quite campy and goofy, it also deals a lot in sexual openness and exploration.
- That being said, under the direction of Trident’s Aaron Odom, respect for the performers and their personal histories is taken into account. Aaron has attended workshops in Stage Intimacy Training, which allows for performers to take a very methodical and mechanical approach to intimate contact with others on stage, so that there is no misunderstanding about intent between performers. It’s just business.
- The production also highlights feeling absolutely comfortable in your own skin, and the intimacy training helps performers feel like the sexiest versions of themselves they can be!
- Often, characters in this production are in clothing that can be considered revealing. While there is no nudity, certain characters do have to appear in corsets, fishnets, briefs, pantyhose and heels.
