Actually, a couple of postings in dating disasters (including mine) got a bit off topic & started discussing Rocky Horror. Here are the links to those posts:

Gilmoure's Post re: Rocky Horror

Gilmoure & I am me,

I only acted it out once, a friend was coordinating a once a year showing on campus & needed volunteers. Initially there were 2 Magentas, so I was going to stay in the audience & encourage participation, but the other Magenta got really embarassed after the Time Warp & left. I'd only seen the movie 1.5 times, but my friends helped me out w/the lines, etc. It was a lot of fun & I'd certainly recommend it as anti-shyness therapy :-)

That it certainly is. It's strange, though; I'm still pretty shy. I have a radio show and on the air, it's like I'm a different person. I made a tape of a show one time and left it at my Mom's. She asked me later if someone was filling in for me. She didn't even recognize my voice. Am thinking of trying out for a play at school. I've never done any real acting, just Rocky. The two plays are 12th Night and Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead. I just put up R & G R Dead as a fav movie of mine too. Hmmm. Which play?

Gilmoure,

Go for R & G r Dead. If it's a favorite movie, it'll be somewhat similiar to acting out Rocky Horror.

Sometimes you can bring the outgoing part of a hobby, etc. into the rest of your life. I wrote for a college newspaper & interned at a daily. I loved the writing part, but was petrified of interviewing people. I stuck w/it & it became second nature. After awhile, I noticed I'd go into interview mode in social situations when I met new people.

Thanks for the encouragement. I'll give it a shot. Luckly, I have a script so I can practice up ahead of time. If anyone's ever auditioned for a play, let me know what to expect. The signs say no experience necessary but nothing about what you are supposed to do at the audition. Any info appriciated.

I haven't auditioned for anything, but I'll throw my 2 cents in anyway :-) Is there a contact no. or whatever for the audition? Try to find out who's running it & ask the person what's expected. Just keep it fun for yourself :-)

I've only auditioned for school plays, but you can probably expect to do a "cold reading" which is where they basically hand you a script and you're asked to read from a scene or two. Well hope you make it, doing plays has been some of the funnest experiences I've had(and I've had some pretty fun "experiences" doing plays, and made some lasting freindships!)
