SUA hosts annual Rocky Horror Picture Show

Thursday, October 29, 2009

Tonight, students can dig out their finest fishnet stockings, dress in drag and time warp to the Kansas Union for Student Union Activity’s annual showing of the Rocky Horror Picture Show.

The 1975 cult film, starring Tim Curry and Susan Sarandon, includes a ritual of dance, call-and-response and the use of props. A prop bag is included with the $5 ticket for the general public and $3 for KU students. The bag will include a piece of toast and a squirt gun and instructions telling students when to use the props throughout the movie.

Andrew Fillmore, Belle Plaine sophomore, is the films and media coordinator for SUA. He said the film was a very interactive experience for the audience.

“There’s lots of points where they get to throw things at the screen, or scream their favorite line, stuff like that,” he said.

The movie will be shown in the Ballroom of the Kansas Union. Doors will open at 8:30 p.m. and the movie will begin at 9:30. SUA will also run a trivia contest, a dance-off, and a costume contest.
