This past Saturday night, like countless before it, fans gathered at the University Mall Theatre in Fairfax, VA to witness and participate in a true cult classic--The Rocky Horror Picture Show. Performed by local cast the Transylvanian Concubines, the midnight performance was typical for long time attendees and anything but for newcomers, who were brought onstage to perform in the affectionately-named "Virgin Games" before settling in to try and make sense of the movie and their fellow moviegoers. Onlookers came in costume of their own, and provided the interactive callback lines and hurled props that have made Rocky infamous since its theatrical debut in 1975. After the show, the fun continued at the local IHOP with a traditional post-show diner binge amongst cast members and friends before heading home and falling asleep just before sunrise.
