EP. 91 - ‘Creatures of the Night’ Takeover Santa Barbara

In this episode, The Indy host, Rebecca Fairweather, sits down with the Creatures of the Night Production Company to talk about their fall performance of The Rocky Horror Picture Story.

On October 28th, the company took over UC Santa Barbara’s Campbell Hall, performing in front of a sold-out crowd of hundreds. Rocky Horror Picture Show first made its debut in London as an on-stage production becoming a movie adaptation by director Jim Sharman. The film found a home for itself at the Waverly Theater in New York’s West Village for midnight screenings. From there, the cult-like fan base began to grow with regulars dressed in full costume and makeup returning week after week. The film showcases queer visibility in a positive light allowing its fans to see themselves represented in roles of empowerment and acceptance.
