2 pm - RKO Horror Picture Show with RKO Army (Main Ballroom)
Roy Rossi's personal tribute to the greatest cult movie of all time. This is a slide-based video with alternate versions of the songs from various Rocky Horror Show plays. The presentation still depicts the story of Brad & Janet's encounters with the residents of the bizarre castle of Dr. Frank-N-Furter. Most of the tribute is to the story. However, you'll also see references to the background that inspired the making of Rocky Horror. You'll even get glimpses of some of the history of The RKO Army.
3 pm - REPO! The Genetic Opera with All Star Cast (Main Ballroom)
In 2056, an epidemic of organ failures devastates the planet. Out of the tragedy, a savior emerges: GeneCo, a biotech company that offers organ transplants. Miss your payments, however, and you will be visited by a Repo Man. GeneCo is run by Rotti Largo, a tortured man facing impending doom who is fighting to save his legacy. His 3 offspring offer little hope - Luigi, Pavi, and Amber. He turns to Shilo, a sheltered young girl dependent on drugs to stay alive and daughter of his arch rival in previous love, Nathan. Nathan is an equally tortured soul with a duel identity, doting father and murderous Repo Man. All will be settled at the opera tonight!
This once controversial event has become part of the fabric of alternate shadowcasting casts around the country who love using their talents and organization for ... doing more.
This show will be con-casted by members of the community. See CASTING for details.

Ostensibly to fix their marriage, Brad is imprisoned on the program "Dentonvale" (the local mental hospital) while Janet is conscripted to become a new star.
