November 18th, 2013 Play Review On October 18th I went and saw The Rocky Horror Show at the 6th Street Playhouse. The show was playing from Sep 20 to Oct 13 and then got extended to show on Oct. 18th, 19th, 25th, 26th, and the 31st .The 6th street playhouse acting company did a marvelous job taping into their characters and expressing the emotions for every situation their character had. This play was based off of a movie called “The Rocky Horror Picture Show” about a very innocent and nonsexual couple who gets in a car wreck late at night while it’s raining. After this car wreck the couple goes to a house looking to borrow a phone and end up running into an alien transvestite mad scientist who has been building the perfect man to be his sex toy. With this man being born on their arrival the couple was in for a strange, magical, sexual and frightening experience. This large group that lived in the house seemed to love singing and wearing little clothing. In their time in this house they both lost their virginity, seen many deaths and in the end were able to escape alive as two of the aliens traveled back to their home planet “Transsexual Transylvania.” The stage was one small platform higher than the floor with two small sets of stairs on the sides that led to small balconies with raining along them that had doors to back stage. The set on the stage was three backdrops that can be folded in and out to change setting. In the center on the stage were two double doors that opened to move on and off stage. Below the small platform was a large open area in the center of all of the seating. There were very few props used in the play. In the begging to make a car they had the characters sit on a bench and had other cast members that were the scene helpers hold a bumper and flashlight in front of the characters to get the image of a car
