The Arthouse at 3Below Theaters Presents…

The Rocky Horror Picture Show

with The Barely Legal Shadow Cast

LET’S DO THE TIME WARP AGAIN! and again and again and again…

Do the “time warp” again as Barely Legal, the Bay Area’s premiere Rocky Horror Picture Show shadow cast, host monthly interactive events at 3Below.

The Rocky Horror Picture Show is a 1975 British musical horror comedy/rock opera film that parodies science fiction and B-movie horror films. The film introduced Tim Curry and features Susan Sarandon and Barry Bostwick along with cast members from the original Kings Road production of the play first performed in the Theatre Upstairs at the Royal Court Theatre in 1973. Still in limited release nearly 50 years after its premiere, RHPS has the longest-running theatrical release in film history and is considered a cult classic gaining notoriety as a midnight movie in 1977 when audiences began participating with the film in theaters across the United States. 

Fans gather monthly at 3Below for a Rocky Horror experience that is so much fun it’s Barely Legal. The cast puts on a sleek and sexy professional show complete with scenery, props, screen accurate costumes, and audience partici…pation. Barely Legal has been throwing Rocky Horror parties in the Bay Area for more than 20 years. It’s like seeing a play and a movie at the same time – and you are part of the experience!

Just as important, is the fun accepting environment the cast creates. Barely Legal is dedicated to providing a safe outlet for creativity while teaching professional and social skills such as team building, theatre arts, props-making and more. Come enjoy the show or get more involved as a member of the cast.

Things To Know

Rocky Horror is a fun, lively experience … but there are some rules.

We encourage participation, but please do NOT bring: rice, water, confetti, squirt bottles, or lighters — they are not allowed, NO EXCEPTIONS.

“Survival Kits” are provided by Barely Legal included in your admission before the show and contain: bubbles, noise makers, toilet paper, toast (bagged up tight!), cards, and instruction sheets (explaining when to use each item). 

When you use the items included in your Survival Kit, make sure to throw them up and back. Do not throw anything at the cast or the screen.

Want a photo with a cast member? Ask – they’re all friendly. But no photography is allowed during the film/performance.

About Our Alongs

Back in 2009 when we hosted our first “along”, we had no idea we would go on to present hundreds of sing-along and quote-along events delighting tens of thousands of people throughout the state. Now that we have a theater to program 365 days a year, we have plenty of opportunities to book the best in interactive entertainment!

Event Highlights

Our interactive experiences begin with a pre-show led by our quirky and witty emcee who welcomes our enthusiastic audiences and introduces the interactive elements of each Sing-Along, Quote-Along or Special Event Experience. A Fun Pack is included as part of admission to enhance the participation experience. And, additional in-movie antics with even more giveaways and props are frequently part of the fun.
 

Pre-Show

The pre-show starts at the published event time; no need to arrive any earlier than you normally would to get great food and drinks from our café, use the restrooms, and find your seats – and since seats are reserved in advance, you’ll save even more time. During the pre-show, our host will explain all the fun planned for the event including the fun pack included with your admission price, the on-screen lyrics (for sing-alongs), and other in-movie antics you can look forward to.
 

Costumes Strongly Encouraged!

Dressing up in a costume from the movie, or that ties in creatively, is always encouraged! We may even bring you up to showcase your costume as part of the pre-show festivities…and sometimes we even have costume contests for terrific prizes.
