''[[The Rocky Horror Picture Show]]'' is about a typical American couple whose car gets a flat tire during a trip to the couple's friend's residence.  So, they walk back to a remote castle in the woods hoping to find a telephone.  But, as in all such stories, there is some problem.  The castle is occupied by a "gender-bending scientist" from the planet Transsexual in the galaxy of Transylvania.  The movie, which started as a play, is still shown in theaters all over the world on Friday and Saturday nights at midnight (or, if you prefer to get technical, Saturday and Sunday mornings).

At Lancaster, Cross-dress Day (known more commonly as [[Second Saturday]]) coincides with the dance. As early as 1997, on this day, twice each year (once per session), a few [[Alcove|Alcovians]] act out ''The Rocky Horror Picture Show'' during the dance when the DJ plays "The Time Warp".  This song was always followed immediately by "Sweet Transvestite," accompanied by its own stunning performance until 2011, when there was an administrative crackdown. After that, a different Rocky song followed "The Time Warp." In 2012, first and second session used "Over at the Frankenstein Place" and "Science Fiction, Double Feature" respectively. Since then, the second song has always been "Hot Patootie (Bless My Soul)".

At Lancaster, Cross-dress Day (known more commonly as [[Second Saturday]]) coincides with the dance. "The Time Warp" first came to Lancaster in Session One of 1991. Student Dov Grossman taught other no-mores the dance, and it was a roaring success. None of the original performers knew that it had become a tradition until Molly Schaefer Lazar(Janet)'s daughter came to LAN as a student in 2016. By 1997, twice each year (once per session), a few [[Alcove|Alcovians]] act out ''The Rocky Horror Picture Show'' during the dance when the DJ plays "The Time Warp".  This song was always followed immediately by "Sweet Transvestite," accompanied by its own stunning performance until 2011, when there was an administrative crackdown. After that, a different Rocky song followed "The Time Warp." In 2012, first and second session used "Over at the Frankenstein Place" and "Science Fiction, Double Feature" respectively. Since then, the second song has always been "Hot Patootie (Bless My Soul)".
  
 
All the parts are typically in attendance, and there have even been additions as of late due to the increasing population at Lancaster. In 2005.1, the Criminologist was added, followed in 2009 by the creation of a group of "Transylvanians" to the chorus during both sessions. In 2011, a Rocky character was added; he entered during "Sweet Transvestite". The role came back again in 2012.2 during "Science Fiction, Double Feature."

The Rocky Horror Picture Show is about a typical American couple whose car gets a flat tire during a trip to the couple's friend's residence. So, they walk back to a remote castle in the woods hoping to find a telephone. But, as in all such stories, there is some problem. The castle is occupied by a "gender-bending scientist" from the planet Transsexual in the galaxy of Transylvania. The movie, which started as a play, is still shown in theaters all over the world on Friday and Saturday nights at midnight (or, if you prefer to get technical, Saturday and Sunday mornings).

"The Time Warp" is a song on many sites' Canons. It is, of course, from The Rocky Horror Picture Show, and is beloved by many. At some sites, select people each year choose to act out "The Time Warp" and "Sweet Transvestite", in full costume, at a particular dance, which oftentimes occurs on some version of "Cross-dress Day," "Drag Day," or "Gender Bender Day."

The Rocky Horror Picture Show is also often played at overnight reunions and is sometimes acted out by former cast members during "The Time Warp" and "Sweet Transvestite."

Lancaster

At Lancaster, Cross-dress Day (known more commonly as Second Saturday) coincides with the dance. "The Time Warp" first came to Lancaster in Session One of 1991. Student Dov Grossman taught other no-mores the dance, and it was a roaring success. None of the original performers knew that it had become a tradition until Molly Schaefer Lazar(Janet)'s daughter came to LAN as a student in 2016. By 1997, twice each year (once per session), a few Alcovians act out The Rocky Horror Picture Show during the dance when the DJ plays "The Time Warp". This song was always followed immediately by "Sweet Transvestite," accompanied by its own stunning performance until 2011, when there was an administrative crackdown. After that, a different Rocky song followed "The Time Warp." In 2012, first and second session used "Over at the Frankenstein Place" and "Science Fiction, Double Feature" respectively. Since then, the second song has always been "Hot Patootie (Bless My Soul)".

All the parts are typically in attendance, and there have even been additions as of late due to the increasing population at Lancaster. In 2005.1, the Criminologist was added, followed in 2009 by the creation of a group of "Transylvanians" to the chorus during both sessions. In 2011, a Rocky character was added; he entered during "Sweet Transvestite". The role came back again in 2012.2 during "Science Fiction, Double Feature."

Rocky is run at Session One by the Stripper, and at Session Two it is run by the Duck and co-choreographers chosen by the Duck.

Lancaster Callbacks

While only a few people actually act out the songs, the entire audience is encouraged to, and often does, shout out callbacks, which are phrases added in between lyrics or over lyrics, generally for amusement. Most of the callbacks are from actual performances of Rocky Horror (there are many many callbacks throughout the movie, as demonstrated by Ken Levin and Drew Grossman). These are a few which are traditionally used during the Lancaster performance.

As of 2012, due to concerns raised by parents, the callbacks for Time Warp were cancelled, along with Sweet Transvestite entirely, replaced by the song "Over at the Frankenstein Place" for first session and "Science Fiction Double Feature" for second session. There are currently no callbacks as it is relatively new. (As of 13.1, callbacks for Time Warp have returned but there are no callbacks for Hot Patootie)

Time Warp

  1. During the chorus, right after the line "Put your hands on your hips," shout out, "Ooohhhhh shit!"
  2. After the line "Bring your knees in tight," shout "2, 4, 6, 8, show us how to fornicate" (or "masturbate", both are acceptable).
  3. During the entire line "But it's the pelvic thrust" shout, "group sex" repeatedly. Subsequently, during the line "That really drives you insaaane," shout, "all around the world."

Sweet Transvestite

  1. In the first verse, when Frank says "faithful handyman," shout over it, "faithful handjob man." [Session 1 only, watch for RAs or you'll get yelled at]
  2. In Frank's line "from Transsexual Transylvania," shout over it, "Lancaster, Pennsylvania." [defunct callback, since at least 04.1]
  3. In the chorus, after "I'm just a sweet transvestite," there is a saxophone riff. Over the saxophone riff, shout, "Work that ass," or, if you don't wish to be chewed out by an RA, "Work those hips." [rarely done]
  4. In the third verse, when Frank says, "I could show you my favorite (pause) obsession," add "sexual" in the pause. [Session 1 only]
  5. After Frank says, "I've been making a man" (and usually points to Riff Raff), shout out "You call that a man?"
  6. After Frank says, "With blonde hair and a tan," shout, "You call that a tan?"
  7. In Frank's line, "He's good for relieving my (pause) tension," add "sexual" in the pause. [Session 1 only]
  8. In the pause after the line "I see you shiver with antici..." shout, "Say it! Say it master!"
    • Then, after Frank finishes, "...pation," shout, "What's masterpation?"
  9. After the line "And maybe the rain isn't really to blame," shout, "Unless we're in Mayser!" [nobody says this because Mayser isn't the rain location anymore and also...nobody says this]
    • Or shout, "Yes it is!" if you're actually inside...)
  10. After the line "So I'll remove the cause," shout, "What about the symptom?"

Outside CTY

Live showings of The Rocky Horror Picture Show can be found in most major cities in the United States, including Cleveland, New York City, Sacramento, Los Angeles, Atlanta, and Boston. These showings have set casts that perform the entirety of the movie along with the showing, and each location has its own set of call backs, which can be found here. Florida State University offers a Halloween showing, acted out by the Cheap Thrills Cast. Check here around September or October for details.

At NYCRHPS in Chelsea, New York, orgasm contests = amazing (Warning from Nixon: the hosts can be total dicks). Fun fact: at least one Columbia from a past Rocky cast of CTY Session One is now a full-time cast member in the New York shadowcast; brownie points if you can figure out who it is. ;)
