The Rocky Horror Personality Test - Sunday, October 19th, 5:30 - 6:30 pm
Presented and performed by Alison Foreman, "The Rocky Horror Personality Test" is an interactive floor show that teaches audiences the history of the midnight movie. Volunteers will answer a series of personality test questions to determine their Rocky Horror character and act out scenes from the infamous 1975 film that spawned an entire queer movement — no musical talent or rehearsals required. As much a meditation on individuality in art as it is a reflection on flawed history and personal growth, the R.H.P.T. is a thought-provoking and funny lecture that reminds you why some movies feel like church.
