Convention Casting for The Rocky Horror Picture Show

Jump to: navigation, search

Convention Casting is done by dividing each main role (with the exception of Eddie) into scenes so that many convention attendees are able to perform that role, and to allow costume changes which are often impossible at a normal show (Face Cream Frank before floorshow, full floorshow makeup, Time Warp flashback during Space, etc.). There are several ways to divide the scenes. Here is one example.

The Criminologist

This is completely open as to how it can be divided.

  • Casting more than one Dr. Scott is not ideal, it's a relatively small role.
