So you're about to experience your first Rocky Horror Picture Show. Get ready for troubles. As anything else in life Rocky has it's own unique rules. The first one's probably- be VERY VERY AFRAID.
Just kidding. Here's some advice to help you survive and maybe even enjoy your first time.

1. Preparing for the show:
   a) Clothing:
Wear something you know you look good in, you feel good and sexy in, and make sure you can jump with.
His- men are, of course, easier to dress than women. Wear mom's clothes, or something black, tight and weird. As a rule, always wear something you'll never wear to work.
Hers- Large cleavage is the basic rule of rocky clothing. Make sure your shoes are walkable, jumpable, and know that the theatre will be drowning in rice, water and  papers.
And for all of you out there, remember that Rocky is about feeling not about dressing.
   b) Props:
Rice, a newspaper, a lighter and confetti. If any of these are not acceptable in your theatre don't argue, do only what's allowed. No matter what, don't throw anything at the stage- someone might get hurt.

2. The first few minutes in the theatre:
Imagine this: a very weird person comes over to you and asks you if you're a virgin. No, he's not talking about sex (yet). He's asking if you've seen Rocky in a theatre before. We don't advise you to lie, the first rocky can be a unique experience, and you'll miss it if you lie. Don't be afraid, there's a very slim chance you'll be picked for the virgin abuse.
Don't stare at people who are dressed strangely, feel at ease, try talking to people and don't take offence if they laugh at you and say "here's a virgin".
Stay away from people with whips.

3. Virgin abuse:
If you're called to the stage come up, there's a slight chance you'll even enjoy it. If you don't come up, the rocky elders will probably remember you as an eternal virgin and it's hard to wipe out the first impression. The virgin abuse is different from place to place and ranges from nothing through throwing water at you, making you sing stupid songs and answer absurd questions up to making you strip and run around naked (in Israel it's usually nothing or very short but explicit sexual songs).

4. The pre-show:
As a virgin you're not allowed to criticize the pre-show, even if it sucks and you hear people around you say it!

5. The movie:
There are a few ground rules that can help you look like you know what you are doing there:
Every time Brad is on the screen the call "asshole" is correct. Same for Janet and the call "slut". When the name Dr.Scott is heard the call "must be shot!" is a must. when you see the narrator all 3 calls: "Where's your neck?", "Charles Grey he's OK", & "BORING!" are welcome. Every time you hear the name Weiss, you can shout "Did you say rice?" and throw rice (important note: this call is not allowed at some of the theatres, you should check it before you do it...). There are a lot of other calls, and you can learn them from Katzir's script, but we think it's much more fun to learn the ones shouted in your theatre from the people around you. Anyway it's always nice to learn new calls & even make up your own calls. If you really want to look like you know what you're doing, you should find a friend who knows the movie, and will be glad to sit with you and teach you some of the callings.
Behave yourself! the fact that a gal is walking half naked or a guy is walking in women clothing DOES NOT mean you are allowed to say what do you think about them
And one more advice: If you can, watch the movie before you come to the theatre, it will make it much easier to understand it.
But most important, have fun!

6. The after-party/after-show:
After parties are mostly for the more experienced rocky persons, and in most cases are also closed parties. However, if you are invited to one, remember that after parties are mostly about discussing the pre-show, the movie, purity tests results, and mostly just having sex. This is exactly the reason why after parties are for the more experienced rockists: they demand very high tolerance towards all kinds of kinkies, and also a great ability of saying "No" to something you don't like. Think twice before you go to an after-show. On the other hand of course it might just end up as a very interesting discussion or a joke competition. If you're in an Israeli show and were introduced to our beloved Leo, make sure to warn a mature adult if you catch him trying to tell that brain-eater joke again. (We love you Leo! *wink*)
Anyway, don't try to go if you are not invited, and most important:
DO NOT OPEN ANY DOORS!!!
