Photos by Matt Nicholson | Senior Photographer Forbidden Fruit’s interactive performance of the Rocky Horror Picture Show will open at Bijou Art Cinemas on October 26 and run through the 28th, and a Halloween night performance will be held on the 31st in the EMU Ballroom. Rocky: ‘De-virginizing’ an integral part of experience, actors say

Continued from page 5 The cast spices up the movie’s storyline, which is projected behind them and playing throughout, with commentary and shout outs directly aimed at the on- screen characters. Bits of the commentary refer to Eugene and Oregon, acting as an inside joke. This intimacy relaxes viewers in the overtly campy atmosphere. The issue of ice breaking is pretty much elimi- nated by the notorious “de-virginizing” of first-time show goers. To begin with, a giant “V” is drawn onto the virginal victims’ faces, and they are then herded onstage for some naughtiness, which Sam Hediger and Bartlett say is an integral part of the experience. Don’t be afraid though, Bartlett reassures. “No one in their fishnets will judge you,” Bartlett said. Hediger, in the play for the second year, said the cast members’ initiation is even crazier than the fans’. Thus far, he has avoided stripteases, table dances and having to reveal embarrassing truths. Bartlett reminds him that that is rare. As the last rehearsal before the show started, a cast member wearing a short skirt in schoolgirl plaid, looked around at others wearing platform
