(Bloomington, IN) – Let’s do the Time Warp again! Constellation Stage & Screen is bringing Bloomington’s biggest cult tradition back to the Buskirk-Chumley Theater with two interactive screenings of The Rocky Horror Picture Show on Saturday, October 25 at 7:00pm & 11:00pm. This year marks the film’s 50th anniversary and the 20th year of Constellation’s annual screenings at the BCT, making it South-Central Indiana’s longest-running Rocky Horror tradition. Ticket prices will increase by $5 at the door, so purchase tickets in advance to save!

Join us 30 minutes prior to each screening (6:30 & 10:30pm) for our highly anticipated pre-show event, featuring a costume contest, fabulous prizes, devirginization ceremony, and more! To host this year’s pre-show festivities, Constellation will welcome back local drag queen, producer, and host Oriana Perón.

Oriana Perón is a dynamic drag performer from Bloomington, IN, who turned her love for cosplay into a captivating stage career. Since 2006, Oriana has combined her passion for anime, video games, and musical artistry into one-of-a-kind drag acts that have dazzled audiences across the country. Known for her quirky and fun performances, she’s been featured in Crunchyroll, Anime News Network, and Watermark Magazine. With a mission to create safe, engaging spaces and expand her anime-inspired drag shows internationally, Oriana continues to push the boundaries of performance art while spotlighting other talented nerdy performers.

In this cult classic, newly engaged sweethearts Brad (Barry Bostwick) and Janet (Susan Sarandon) find themselves stuck with a flat tire during a storm and happen upon the eerie mansion of Dr. Frank N. Furter (Tim Curry), a “sweet transvestite” and scientist. As their innocence is lost, Brad and Janet meet a houseful of wild characters, including a rocking biker (Meat Loaf), a creepy butler (Richard O'Brien), and a pair of wicked groupies. Through elaborate songs and dances, Frank unveils his latest creation: a muscular male specimen named "Rocky."

The Rocky Horror Picture Show has a long history of audience participation. At screenings, audiences throw rice, ring bells, yell specific phrases, and generally cause mayhem in the theater! Prop bags with goodies and guides on how to participate in this cult-classic tradition will be available to purchase for $5 with tickets or at the show (as supplies last).

Celebrate the 50^th anniversary of the biggest cult classic of all time this October!
