Rocky Horror Picture Show Prop Bag Guide
What's in the (prop) bag?
Thanks for supporting us by buying a Rocky Horror prop bag! Below is a list of everything inside, with instructions on how and when to use each item for maximum audience participation!
Remember, throw to the left of you, to the right of you, up in the air, and behind you! But whatever you do, please don't aim at the screen or the cast members. None of us have health insurance.
Prop #1: Rice (Unpopped Popcorn Kernels/Bubbles)
What to Listen For: The Wedding Bells at the end of Science Fiction/Double Feature
Throw these during the opening wedding scene, when the happy couple leaves the church!
NOTE: Traditionally audience members use rice, but we use the unpopped popcorn to make things easier on our theater's cleaning crew.
At some venues, we may use bubbles instead.
Prop #2: Newspaper
What to Listen For: "Besides, Darling, the owner of that phone might be a beautiful woman and you might never come back again."
To protect you (and Janet) from the pouring rain! Put this on your head when Brad & Janet get out of the car after their tire blows.
Prop #3: Rubber Glove
What to Listen For:
Snap #1- "It was strange the way it happened- suddenly, you hit a break."
Snap #2- "I hold the secret to life itself!"
Snap #3- "You are fortunate, for tonight is the night--"
Using these is a snap! Literally! Snap your glove three times along with Frank n Furter as he makes his speech in the lab. We use Nitrile gloves for maximum snappiness!
Prop #4: Noisemaker
What to Listen For: "I hold the secret to life itself!" and "Destined to be born!"
At the end of Frank's speech in the lab, join the Transylvanians in celebrating his achievement by sounding off with your noisemaker!
Prop #5: Confetti/Streamers/Party Poppers
What to Listen For: The sound of wedding bells (again) at the end of "I Can Make You A Man"
What's a wedding without confetti? Celebrate Frank & Rocky's wedding by throwing these streamers, tossing your confetti, or popping your party poppers as the newlyweds make their way into their bridal suite!
Prop #6: Toilet Paper
What to Listen For: "Great Scott!"
All the fun of toilet papering someone's house without any of the legal trouble! Throw this when Brad exclaims "Great Scott" as Dr. Scott bursts through the lab wall!
Prop #7: Toast
What to Listen For: "A toast"
Don't eat the toast! Throw it instead, as Frank raises his glass and calls for "a toast" at dinner.
Prop #8: Party Hat
What to Listen For: "To absent friends...and Rocky"
Happy Birthday Rocky! After throwing your toast, put on your party hat and sing along with Frank to celebrate Rocky's birthday!
Prop #9: Playing Cards
What to Listen For: "Cards for sorrow, cards for pain" during "I'm Going Home"
Are you a Rocky Horror ace? Throw these cards during I'm Going Home when Frank mentions "Cards for sorrow" and "Cards for pain." What a downer, Frank.
