Rocky Horror at Theater Friday

The Rocky Horror Picture Show, the all-time cult classic movie, plays the Hamilton Theater Friday night, for a special midnight show. 

Admission is $3.

 “If you’ve never experienced Rocky Horror- or if you’ve seen it a hundred times- you’re in for a treat,” said Mack Goldberg, chair of Colgate’s Take Two Film Series, sponsor of the event. “It’s the best audience participation movie ever!  Come in costume, bring toast, bring rice- or just come for the experience!”

The film premiered in Los Angeles in 1975, was considered a failure and shelved.  Then, on April Fool’s Day a year later, the Waverly Theater in LA featured the film as part of its midnight cult movie series- and the rest is history.  Audiences began mimicking the actors, yelling lines at the screen, bringing props to the theater- and coming in bizarre costumes.  Since then, The Rocky Horror Picture Show has become one of the most entertaining film experiences of all time, with audiences around the world returning again and again.

Costumed guests at Hamilton Theater’s midnight presentation will see themselves featured on the big screen.  Tickets are available in advance by phone at 315-824-8210 or at the theater, or may be purchased at the door.
