Production company Creatures of the Night performing their fall production of The Rocky Horror Picture Show on October 28 at Campbell Hall | Credit: Rebecca Fairweather
On October 28, the company took over UC Santa Barbara’s Campbell Hall, performing in front of a sold-out crowd of hundreds. The Rocky Horror Picture Show first made its debut in London as an on-stage production becoming a movie adaptation by director Jim Sharman. The film found a home for itself at the Waverly Theater in New York’s West Village for midnight screenings. From there, the cult-like fan base began to grow with regulars dressed in full costume and makeup returning week after week. The film showcases queer visibility in a positive light allowing its fans to see themselves represented in roles of empowerment and acceptance.
