have you performed in a rocky horror shadowcast? let's talk about it!!!

i have participated in the last two shadowcast performances that my college's rocky horror club organized. 

for my first show i played Eddie. he's my favorite character in the whole show. i feel like i relate to this character the most, and i loved embodying the spirit of rock and roll. he's everything i wish i could be, and for that night i didn't have to dream it, i could be it. playing him made me feel more confident about myself, and i felt like i was able to celebrate who i was through this character.

for my second show, i played Frank n Furter. playing Frank n Furter helped me get out of my comfort zone. i have been very self conscious about my body for most of my life, and that night over 100 people saw me wearing the most revealing clothes i have ever worn in my life. i feel like rocky horror helped me to connect with myself more, and playing Frank n Furter brought out a part of me that i may not have explored otherwise. it gave me a sense of confidence that i needed and was lacking for a long time.

I'm not in a shadowcast but I've been to 13 shows and my local cast officially considers me and my friends as groupies now lol. But I'm auditioning for Frank, Columbie, or one of the Transilvanians next month!!
