The Rocky Horror Picture Show is about a normal, 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 all stories, there is some problem. The castle is occupied by a 'gender-bending scientist' from the planet Transsexual in the galaxy of Transylvania.... you get the idea.
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 this song, in full costume, at a particular dance, which oftentimes occurs on some version of "Cross-dress Day," "Drag Day," or "Gender Bender Day."
Lancaster
At Lancaster, Cross-dress Day (known more commonly as Second Saturday) coincides with the dance. Thus, on this day, twice each year (once per session), a few Alcovians act out The Rocky Horror Picture Show during the dance when the DJ's plays The Time Warp. Immediately afterwards, Sweet Transvestite is played and is accompanied by an always stunning performance. Adam Roush traditionally choreographs these performances.
All the parts are typically in attendance; however, only at times are the actors joined by a Criminologist, such as in 06.2
