Alpha Psi Omega (APO) will take students through a time traveling experience to the ’70s through a complete experience of The Rocky Horror Picture Show.
Members of APO will create an interactive experience by selling prop bags to use throughout the film and providing students with a script for only $5 at 8 p.m., on Oct. 17 and 18, at the Little Theater.
The Rocky Horror Picture Show is a film that tells the story about transylvanian aliens being sent to Earth to study human behavior.
The alien leader is a scantly clad hyper sexual scientist who has created a perfect man to satisfy his “needs” in his castle on top of a creepy hill.
Two young college students are traveling when the car breaks down near the castle.
In an effort to find help and a phone they happen upon the castle and are taken in by the strange alien cult which leads to a night of chaos.
Each year, this iconic film is presented by the Aurora Theater and at the Alamo Drafthouse in Corpus Christi.
Alpha Psi Omega seeks to offer students the opportunity to experience Rocky Horror without having to commute.
All money raised will go in support of the APO organization.
“Students can expect a complete interactive experience. We are doing a throwback to the original screening they used to have of Rocky Horror in New York City which was hugely popular in the ’70s and ’80s …. some of our theater people will be dressed as characters in the movie and will be performing the scenes live in front of the screen as the movie is showing,” Laurie Hoefelmeyer, Parliamentary of APO, said.
The audience will be able to engage with the cast by using props and being able to shoot at the cast members with squirt gun.
Students will be able to participate during the film creating a unique experience.
“People are welcome to dress up and we will be selling prop bags for people to use to interact with the movie. People are welcome to get up and sing and a dance along… purpose is to host a fun event and give students a fun thing to do on the weekend,” Devin Hamblin, APO business manager, said.
Students are encouraged to attend this event, which organizers say will be full of fun.
“I look forward to seeing the joy it brings to people. I know we need as much joy in this time and age. Students can expect a popular cult classic movie to enjoy…” Robin Machuca, member of Alpha Psi Omega, said.
