In true Rocky Horror tradition,&nbsp; Midnight Misfits hosts several shows a year, including a screening of the film with a live, interactive performance element. Why We do this? For decades, audiences have flocked to Rocky Horror Picture Show shadowcast performances...chances are, your parents (and even grandparents) have shown up to a movie theater in a corset and fishnets! The tradition involves a cast of actors who become the film’s characters, acting out the entirety of the film in front of the screen as it's playing, adding an immersive element with vocal responses, costumes encouraged, and interaction between the cast and the audience. It's a pillar of pop culture, and for many a favorite Halloween activity.&nbsp; Even more broadly, the cult classic is a celebration of inclusivity and a space for everyone to be themselves, have fun, and try something new. ...Besides, it’s also just really fun to yell things at the big screen.coNtAct usGet in touch with us at contact@midnightmisfits.com https://midnightmisfits.com/Shows Mon, 22 May 2023 19:27:35 +0000 Midnight Misfits https://midnightmisfits.com/Shows Show Dates Stay tuned for updates on upcoming Spring and Fall shows!

We believe in the importance of spaces where people can explore all of their weird weirdness and express their thoughts and feelings in a healthy and respectful way. We hope to foster an environment of self-awareness and love, and build a community that’s in on the joke; not attract people who will exploit it to be hateful. HAtE sPEEchThere is currently a lot of debate over when and where certain things can and cannot be said. The Rocky Horror Picture Show finds its roots in satire and counter-culture, and to honor that we have a 100% free speech policy. We want our space to be a place where people can feel free to say whatever the fuck they want. However, there is a huge difference between humor and hate speech, so we want to make it clear that if you’re using our show as a place to express hate, we will ask you to leave immediately. How to identify a hater: Someone is targeting exclusively one group specificallySomeone is targeting an individualSomeone is only participating in jokes targeting one group in particular If you think you see someone acting inappropriately, report it to a staff member immediately! 18+ material Please be aware that Rocky Horror incorporates raunchy themes, including mature and offensive language, sexual references, and more skin than you may be used to (unless you’re a cannibal). These themes are tenfold in live shadowcast productions. If you are likely to be offended or uncomfortable by this, we totally understand if you need to sit this one out. photo/video Unlike most theatre productions, Midnight Misfits encourages you to take as many photos and videos as you’d like - whether of yourselves looking hotter than hell, your friends trying the Time Warp, or our cast who loves the spotlight, pull those cameras out! Just don’t be greedy - share and tag us at @midnightmisfitsnj coNsEnt Everyone has full right to not be touched withoutconsent. Verbal consent is mandatory in all situations. If you touch anyone without their consent, we will ask you to leave immediately. Everyone always has this right, whether it be yourself, another audience member, or a cast member. Report creepers to staff immediately. If you get groped or harrassed at an event, please tell someone. You are not being dramatic. Regardless of your personal tolerance level for physical touch, there are other people at the event whose night may be ruined by unwanted touch. It’s everyone’s social responsibility to keep each other safe, audience, cast and crew members alike. virgins! If you’ve never seen The Rocky Horror Picture Show live before, congratulations! You’re a Virgin...and there’s nothing we love more. In fact, we mark Virgins with a red ‘V’ on their forehead upon entry, but feel free to sneak past if you’re uncomfortable. All Virgins will be initiated into the Rocky Horror family in our own special way, if you dare.&nbsp; clothing Come as you are and wear what you’d like - jeans, your mom’s shirt from high school, Rocky Horror cosplay, but we do love seeing Magentas and Columbias in the audience! particiPation Audience engagement is the heart and soul of the live Rocky Horror Picture Show experience. Please note that actors will at times enter the audience and interact with you, especially if you are sitting in the aisles. Audience props and callback lines are highly encouraged and our crew will be selling prop bags at the show. bANNED PRoP LIst We know that traditionally, the audience dresses up and brings props for the show. We encourage people to participate in the show and show up in whatever wacky outfits they want, however, we need to respect both our actors and the lovely theater that hosts us. In order to do that, we ask you do not bring any food items or items that cause a large mess. If you want to make sure you’re not using banned props, we have goodie bags available for purchase at our merch table, or if you plan to bring your own props from home, make sure to read the banned props list: <img width="1090" height="1069" width_o="1090" height_o="1069" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/739db96f9295dc44bfef3dbbbcecffbe564d3a049bc95df8ad8513d90f471817/Toast.png" data-mid="181683940" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/739db96f9295dc44bfef3dbbbcecffbe564d3a049bc95df8ad8513d90f471817/Toast.png" /> No toast <img width="1090" height="1069" width_o="1090" height_o="1069" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/62430b404cc82bfbf8b9ecdf36015c7a0f35881a8b3274dc0f56fd4fac4daefc/Rice.png" data-mid="181683938" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/62430b404cc82bfbf8b9ecdf36015c7a0f35881a8b3274dc0f56fd4fac4daefc/Rice.png" /> No rice <img width="1090" height="1069" width_o="1090" height_o="1069" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/76cb2fe149a272643d25cbe796a18dfe75738736864393f7e35ea28cedcad694/confetti.png" data-mid="181683939" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/76cb2fe149a272643d25cbe796a18dfe75738736864393f7e35ea28cedcad694/confetti.png" /> No confetti <img width="1090" height="1069" width_o="1090" height_o="1069" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/18707b10be505b9a9bbe8bba3e33bb5a5e02ba6782073aebe74165ccce09d077/gun.png" data-mid="181683936" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/18707b10be505b9a9bbe8bba3e33bb5a5e02ba6782073aebe74165ccce09d077/gun.png" />No water guns <img width="1090" height="1069" width_o="1090" height_o="1069" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/8f2542119721f4730cebd0dce2734861f8f727d85cd25c50f8853dd163e63a4d/lighter-.png" data-mid="181683937" border="0" data-scale="100" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/8f2542119721f4730cebd0dce2734861f8f727d85cd25c50f8853dd163e63a4d/lighter-.png" /> No lighters https://midnightmisfits.com/Applications Tue, 23 May 2023 15:51:47 +0000 Midnight Misfits https://midnightmisfits.com/Applications jOIN US CASTCalling people of all skillsets, experienced actors and first-timers looking to explore.
