Los Angeles resident, MIchael Wolfson, is the first known Dr. Frank-N-Furter impersonator. After seeing The Rocky Horror Picture Show at the UA Westwood in 1975, Wolfson began creating his first costume, while returning for repeat screenings of the film in its initial run. At that point in time, there was no Audience Participation with the exception of singing along with the film and remarks taken from the Roxy Cast soundtrack LP.
Over the next several months, Wolfson continued going to Rocky Horror screenings, and came up with the idea of performing numbers from the film.
The plan came together Wolfson met fellow Rocky enthusiast Corky Quakenbush (who was dressed as Riff Raff) at a Halloween Costume Contest in 1976, and the two started to take the idea further. By 1977, they had put together The Rocky Horror Revue, the first known organized Shadowcast.
The Revue was based out of the Fox Venice Theater, though a costumed Wolfson frequented the Tiffany Theater in 1977 as well. Wolfson and crew were features in a March, 1978 Circus magazine article about the cult, though the pictures were taken in 1977.
