The Original Gainesville Cast, from the University of Florida, began performing in 1977. As they helped to bring good revenues into the local UA Theater, the manager would open up the theater to the cast on Saturday and Sunday mornings for private screenings, so that the cast was able to learn how to perfectly mimic the movement on-screen. Their performances were extremely well received, and they began travelling and performing at a variety of theaters in the south-eastern portion of the United States.
During their travels, they ran into Richard O'Brien, who actually joined them at a midnight screening of RHPS. The cast remained friendly with O'Brien, touching base with him on a number of occasions when he was visiting the US.
In 1979, the cast was asked to be the performing cast for the 2nd Anniversary celebration of the Grove Art Cinema in Miami, where both O'Brien and Lil' Nell were in attendance.
