What is your most memorable Rocky Horror moment/memory?
Performing for Rocky Horror Saved My Life and seeing Shawn Stutler’s butt.
That time during our Halloween show that the projector and lights cut out, so all of us on stage just kept things going, with the audience lighting us with their phones and singing along.
The 40th anniversary convention was incredibly special, celebrating the landmark anniversary with Pat Quinn, Little Nell and Barry Bostwick, as well as the incredible Rocky community at large.
Performing at the Schwartz Center in Dover,DE for Halloween of 2015, and for our largest audience, of over 500 people.
And performing at various LGBTQ pride events, and seeing all the other amazing performers.
Also going to Chicago Rocky Con, seeing Shock Treatment live, and being so, so drunk.
