Tis the season for The Rocky Horror Picture Show. The 1975 cult classic comes to life every year across the country as theatre troupes put on performances, typically shadow casts which involve actors playing out the scenes while the movie screens behind them. The performances are a ritual in and of itself, as audience members become activated as actors move about the crowd.
Typically San Marcos Rocky Horror fans would have to venture out to Austin or San Antonio to catch a show but for the second year in a row the crew at Triple Six Social is bringing Transylvania to San Marcos.
The Rocky Horror Shadowcast is an 18+ performance running in the openair stage area behind the cafe located at 329 Cheatham St. The show runs all October with upcoming dates including Oct. 24, and their Halloween show on the 31. There will be a final run of the show on Nov. 7 to give those who work during Halloween a chance to catch it one last time. The shows start at 8 p.m. with doors at 7 p.m. and a pre-show at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are only $10 and go directly to the cast and crew with reservations available online at triplesixsocial. com. Guests are encouraged to bring their own chair or enjoy the performance picnic style on blankets. No outside food and drink are allowed but a full menu of coffees, teas and bubbly delights can be purchased in the cafe alongside food and treats.
