How to use each item in the ‘Rocky Horror’ audience throw bags

Part of what makes Rocky Horror such an iconic and memorable theater experience is audience involvement. Whether you come wearing your own wig and fishnets or get a surprise one-on-one dance with a cast member, this show is best enjoyed actively. That’s why we highly recommend picking up one of the $5 throw bags at the door of Theatre Baton Rouge’s production. Bags are filled with items the audience can use at key moments of the show. (Don’t worry if you forget—you’ll get a cheat sheet with your bag.)
