They debuted on the Fourth of July. “We are called Human Race, not only because it’s a line from the movie, but because it leaves us open for every walk of life,” Scotty said. “We’re colorblind.” Human Race’s cast members ex- hibit all sorts of diversity. A Frank N. Furter understudy is a school teacher. The cast’s Rocky is a professional stuntman. Another cast member cleans aquariums for a living. “I look at (the cast) and I see so much in them,” Scotty said. “I’m leaving the door wide open for any- one who wants to work.” Since the Yost Theater is more for live performances, Human Race has an issue unique among Rocky Hor- ror casts.
