Reading the director's notes for NonProphet Theater Company's (in association with DramaRama Theater Company) production of The Rocky Horror Show had me wondering, if indeed, "many people have never seen the movie, much less the stage show". I mean, I grew up during the 1960's and 70's, so I was exposed to the cult that is "Rocky Horror" as soon as I could drive (or catch a ride) down to the Varsity Theater on Delmar for a midnight screening. But, I guess the mass proliferation of DVD's and widescreen TV's have replaced that unique communal rite of passage. So, it's up to local theater companies to recreate the experience, and this production is perfectly timed for the Halloween season.
