Hello friends! Are you a Rocky Horror Picture fan? Are you really good at the Time Warp dance? Then come on out and enjoy a showing of the film hosted by MHO! October 29th at 7:30pm, we'll be hosting the event in Daniel Auditorium. The film will be followed by a lecture from Dr. McCoy and Dr. LePage on what makes movies and music sometimes gain a cult following and the portrayal of marginalized individuals in pop culture. Goodie bags will be provided and there will also be a costume contest. Donations are strongly suggested. All benefits will be going to the Greenville Health System. So come on out, support a great cause, and get your time warp on!
