ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW APPROVED PROP LIST -
PARTICIPATION GUIDE
For complete enjoyment of the show, we encourage you to bring certain props listed below as well as dress up. At all times, we expect all participants to be respectful and kind to each other as the goal is to have fun. We are not allowing any type of outside food or drink into the theatre so for props such as RICE or TOAST - we are suggesting to simply use some popcorn! The throwing of any of the items is meant to be fun - do not throw at anyone or at the screen. Items should be lightly thrown into the air as to not hurt anybody. Never make fun of anyone for dressing up or for being in the same outfit as you. Do not shout the same insults at the screen constantly as it gets boring and monotonous. We would like to encourage shouting choice words/phrases in their proper spaces for the audience participation but keep it to a minimum, so that the movie can still be enjoyed by all. We have also explicitly denied all water/liquid props especially water/squirt guns. Bringing in props should be done in a small shopping bag - preferably clear - that will be searched before entering the theatre. If the prop is not mentioned below, assume that it is not allowed.
