Rocky Horror Club believes in providing performance and involvement opportunities for everyone, regardless of experience. That is why we do not require an audition to be a Transylvanian and there is no experience required to be a part of tech!
We ask that new cast members see a Rocky Horror Shadowcast (not necessarily ours) before applying in order to know what to expect. First time Transylvanians and tech members must be at both rehearsals for their first show. Once new members have participated in one show as a Transylvanian, they are welcome to submit auditions to play principle roles; auditions are very casual, requiring a video of the “Wild and Untamed Thing” floorshow dance and videos of the characters for which they are auditioning. These auditions are just to ensure people understand the expectation of shadow-casting and comfortable performing.
Tech and Transylvanian applications are CLOSED for the May Show!
Callouts
Callouts are part of Rocky Horror tradition! A unique feature of shadowcasts are that members of the cast do not speak while performing, relying on the sounds of the movie. This means that the audience is relied upon to provide their own unique dialogue. Callouts are when audience members shout their own lines during the spoken dialogue of the movie. To participate, you can view the types of callouts and when to use them here: Rocky Horror Callouts
