Part of the audience participation draw of "The Rocky Horror Picture Show" has long been the use of props. Harrison Hilltop Theatre is inviting its audience members to bring their own - except for water.
From the Web site RockyHorror.com, here is a list of recommended props and when to use them:
Rice: At the wedding of Ralph Hapschatt and Betty Munroe.
Newspapers: When Brad and Janet are caught in a storm, Janet covers her head with a newspaper .
Candles, flashlights: During the "There's a light" verse of "Over at the Frankenstein Place."
Rubber gloves: During and after the creation speech, Frank snaps his rubber gloves three times.
Noisemakers: At the end of the creation speech, the Transylvanians respond with applause and noisemakers.
Confetti: At the end of the "Charles Atlas Song" reprise, the Transylvanians throw confetti.
Toilet paper: When Dr. Scott enters the lab, Brad cries out, "Great Scott!" At this point, the audience is to hurl rolls of toilet paper in the air.
Toast: When Frank proposes a toast at dinner, members of the audience throw toast (preferably unbuttered because things could get sticky otherwise) into the air.
Party hat: At the dinner table, when Frank puts on a party hat.
Bell: During the song "Planet Schmanet Janet," ring the bell when Frank sings "Did you hear a bell ring?"
Cards: During the song "I'm Going Home," Frank sings "Cards for sorrow, cards for pain." At this point, the audience should shower the theater with cards.
