<div><i>Rose tints my world,</i></div><div><i>Keeps me safe from my trouble and pain...</i></div><div> </div><div><i>The Rocky Horror Picture Show</i> is the queen of cult films. Since its premiere in 1975, it remains an evergreen gateway drug for performance, drag, kink, and gender expression, and every major American city has hosted an RHPS shadow cast, where actors onstage perform with the film.</div><div> </div><div>Then there are places like Rock Springs, a city of around 25,000 people in the middle of deep-red Wyoming. This formerly booming mining town in Sweetwater County seems like the last place you’d find Richard O’Brien’s brazenly queer rock musical. But local 25-year-old performer Kenny Sterling has a vision for his company’s inaugural production: Rock Springs’ first-ever shadow cast of one of the most infamous musicals of all time.</div><div> </div><div>As we meet the cast and crew members putting the show together—standout auditions, costume wrangling, creative marketing solutions—director Allison Berg widens her focus beyond the production. How does it feel when an entire community pushes back against your artistic vision? What’s it like to do this show not 200 miles from where Matthew Shepard was murdered solely for existing? And as trans lives are threatened every day in this politically fraught country, how do you find the courage to rebel?</div><div> </div><div>Executive-produced by such theatre legends as John Cameron Mitchell, Billy Porter, and Josh Gad, <i>Time Warp</i> is rousing and heartrending ode to putting queer visibility front and center, and it demands one thing from all of us: “Don’t dream it. Be it.” <b>Washington Premiere.</b></div><div><br></div><div><b>Director Allison Berg scheduled to attend for a post-film Q&A. </b></div><div><b><br></b></div><div><b>Wear your Transylvanian best for the Opening Night after party at The Poet, just a jump to the left from the Grand Cinema, with complimentary bites, a cash bar, and an appearance from Tacoma’s own Rocky Horror shadow cast, the Blue Mouseketeers!</b></div><div><br></div><div>Sponsored by Propel Insurance, The Poet, and Manuscript.</div>DocumentaryPT1H52M2026-10-22USen
