Rocky Horror Picture Show: Prepare to be thrilled, chilled, and fulfilled! Come celebrate 40 years of decadent madness with Madison’s own Velvet Darkness Cast. Enjoy a full shadow cast floor show with all the corsets, fishnets, and cacophony that we can fit into two hours. Costumes and callbacks are encouraged, but please refrain from bringing toast, rice, cards, squirt guns, or any other projectiles. If this is all new to you and you have no idea why anyone would consider throwing toast at a screen, please show up right on time, and we will have games, and possibly fabulous prizes for you before the show. 18+

"Highbrow vs. Lowbrow" is a false dichotomy. Here we trace the influence of classic lit throughout geek culture, dispel some myths about Shakespeare, and share some tales from backstage in the theatre world. Then we'll perform and analyze a couple of scenes, and invite audience members up to do the same.
Sadly, it's time to say farewell to Geek.Kon for another year. It's time to acknowledge the many people who make Geek.Kon possible, say goodbye to any guests that have refused to leave, and learn the dates for Geek.Kon 2015!
