AUDITION ANNOUNCEMENT
THE ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW Live Shadowcast Production!
Benefiting the Kaua’i Community College PRISM Club
"DON'T DREAM IT, BE IT!"
Get ready to do the Time Warp! While this marks KCC PRISM Club’s 3rd Annual showing of The Rocky Horror Picture Show, this year we are taking the experience to an electrifying new level with our first-ever live shadowcast!
All ticket proceeds from this performance will directly benefit the Kaua’i Community College PRISM Club, supporting an LGBTQ+ friendly campus.
What is a Shadowcast?
A shadowcast is an ensemble of actors who perform the movie live on stage directly in front of the screen while the film plays behind them. Performers lip-sync the dialogue and songs, recreate the iconic choreography and blocking, and bring the screen magic into the audience!
AUDITION DETAILS
• Audition Date(s): Thursday September 24 through Sunday September 27, 2026
• Time: 5:00 PM – 8:00 PM
• Location: Kaua’i Community College Campus / Performing Arts Center
AUDITION PREPARATION & EXPECTATIONS
• Performance & Lip-Sync: Be prepared to lip-sync a song or scene from the film for the character(s) you are interested in. We are looking for big energy, bold physical choices, expressive facial acting, and stage presence! Costume optional for the audition.
• Movement/Choreography: You may be asked to learn a quick combination (like The Time Warp) to test movement and timing.
• Costumes: Please note that all performers will be responsible for sourcing their own costumes. Screen-accuracy is encouraged, but creative flair that fits the spirit of the character is welcomed!
ALL ROLES OPEN
We are seeking an enthusiastic, dynamic, and diverse cast for all roles! This is intended to be a fun-filled experience for everyone involved.
• Dr. Frank-N-Furter: A charismatic, confident, sweet transvestite from Tr*******al, Transylvania. High-energy commanding presence.
• Brad Majors: An innocent, upright young man who gets swept into a world he never expected. Great physical comedy.
• Janet Weiss: Brad's naive fiancée who undergoes a total transformation. Requires strong dramatic and physical expression.
• Riff Raff: Frank’s creepy, brooding handyman. Iconic physical presence and movement.
• Magenta: The dramatic, enigmatic maid with an unforgettable, wild look and fierce attitude.
• Columbia: The ecstatic rock-and-roll groupie full of high-octane energy and big emotions. Tap-dancing ability a significant advantage, but not essential!
• Rocky Horror: Frank's creation—the ultimate physical specimen. Needs high confidence to pull off the costume and expressive physical storytelling.
• Eddie: The wild, sax-playing ex-delivery boy rocker. High energy and loud personality. Ability to ride a tricycle or bicycle helpful.
• Dr. Everett V. Scott: The eccentric rival scientist. Excellent facial reactions and expressive lip-syncing required. Ability to maneuver a wheelchair helpful.
• The Criminologist / Narrator: The articulate, deadpan narrator who holds the show together and interacts with audience callbacks.
• Transylvanians / Ensemble: The eccentric party guests who bring the castle to life, dance The Time Warp, and interact directly with the audience!
