For my musical ethnography, I was originally going to attend a showing of the “Rocky Horror Picture Show”, but it ended up being sold out last minute. At that point, I began to worry because that was the only event I had planned to attend. As my worry was starting to progress, I remembered, and also took a quick glance at the types of events we could attend and saw that it said we could attend a religious service. I quickly looked up services in my area for the next day and came across a website…

Lastly, I would like to compare romantic relationships within each of these films and how their communication led to either a strong relationship or the termination of their relationship and the stages they went through to get there. In the film Rocky Horror, Brad and Janet go through…

The Rocky Horror Picture Show. The pinnacle of openmindedess. A place where people of all genders, races, and creeds can safely explore their sexualities without fear of judgment or bullying. Right?

While we project fun, silliness, and freedom onstage for audiences every Saturday night at midnight, backstage is a completely different story. For my part, I joined my cast of The Rocky Horror…

The rocky horror picture show is more than just a movie, its an interactive experience. As the clock strikes nine, every walk of life in las vegas begins to form a line to wait for the show.

Their perceptions of themselves…

Estes Park is a small mountain town in western Colorado, located in Larimer County. The town is part of the Rocky Mountain National Park, one of the country’s 58 national parks. It is located 22.3 miles west of the town of Lyons via U.S Highway 36. One can also take U.S highway 7 from downtown Lyons for a slightly longer route. Using Highway 36, it is…

When summarizing Rocky Horry Picture Show, we must not only understand the history of the production- but also the history of the world at the time of its release. RHS is arguably a postmodern masterpiece, although it’s cult following would never claim that title. To proclaim itself a serious postmodern work of art would allow the show to be adopted by the mainstream, whose attributes are usually NOT what the show stands for whatsoever. Rather, the show provides both audience members and…

Homosociality in Glee experiences a dramatic change due to the forming relationship between Kurt and Finn. The season one finale saw Kurt, a theatrical, uniquely dressed gay teen from glee club, moving in with Finn, the straight quarterback of the football team who also sings in the club, after their parents begin dating. While decorating the room, Finn calls Kurt’s decorations “faggy,” to which Kurt’s manly father Burt responds with kicking Finn out of the house (“Theatricality”). The…

What do laser beams and Transylvania have in common? What happens when mad scientists meet groupies? The classic cult production, The Rocky Horror Show, brings together elements of glam rock and Horror B-Movies. This winter, the University of Colorado Theatre Department brought the classic science fiction and campy humor to the University Theatre stage. Directed by Hadley Kamminga-Peck with musical direction by David Nehlsthe, the musical captured the essence of Richard O’Brien’s 1973 musical.…
