Kentucky Theatre Presents: The Rocky Horror Picture Show
As stated in previous posts of my own, I have mentioned that the Kentucky theatre plays host to the Rocky Horror Picture Show every halloween, and subsequently throughout the year. This event is a major income bringer for the theatre, and not to mention a ton of fun.
If you've never been to the theatre before, please go and experience this for yourself. It is truly something to behold. The amount of work the theatre has to go under to prepare for this event and also provide and clean up for is astounding. Employees are kept late into the night to enjoy the festivities. Throughout the night, the theatre holds a costume contest for the different cosplayers of the characters in the show. The theatre also provides a goodie bag with different items that you will need throughout the showing of the film and the continuation of the event. Even though the film is only an hour and forty minutes long, the event goes on for upwards of 3 hours full of games, jokes, and just plain fun.
Now, while this event is very fun and a wonderful night to do something for the Halloween time frame, it raises a few questions.
1.) Why does this theatre play such a crude movie and show (full of drag queens, sex toys, etc.) in a historic downtown location?
2.) How much does this show alone get the word out about the theatre?
I shall continue my research to find out.
