It's close to 10:30 on a December night when rehearsal begins for Etcetera's production of "The Rocky Horror Show." • The soundtrack is turned up, and the actors — out of costume but definitely in character — begin to sing. • And there's even a young woman sitting in the audience at director Christopher Johnson's request. • "What did your mom call you?" she yells out just before an actor says, "An accident." • "You're here on a special night," a character says. • "Wednesday!"
And so it goes through 85 minutes of the intermission-free show. Most responses aren't appropriate for a family paper. But then, this isn't your typical family play — nor is Etcetera your typical theater.
