This fall, Meow Wolf Houston invites guests to do the Time Warp in Radio Tave. On Friday, Sept. 26, the cult classic The Rocky Horror Picture Show comes alive with an iconic Houston shadow cast, transforming the Fifth Ward exhibition into the ultimate destination for a night of audience-fueled spectacle. Doors open at 9 p.m. Tickets are now on sale for this 21+ event.
The shadow cast, The Sisterhood of Lili St. Cyr, is a local legend. Founded by Grimm and Ghoulia Child, the troupe has built a reputation for unforgettable performances that showcase Houston’s burlesque and drag communities with the irreverent spirit of Rocky Horror. Their shows, including residencies at Numbers Nightclub and the beloved River Oaks Theatre, have cemented their place as the city’s Rocky Horror keepers. For one night only, they bring that magic to Meow Wolf.
Rocky Horror’s shadow cast culture, a tradition that has kept the film running in theaters for 50 years, thrives on chaos, call-backs, and community. The experience will include prop bags filled with “Glorious Garbage” provided with admission to fuel audience participation. Guests are encouraged to jump in, shout along, and embrace the outrageous camp that made Rocky Horror a phenomenon.
“For decades, Rocky Horror has been a local late-night tradition,” said Aaron Johnson, General Manager of Meow Wolf Houston, “At Meow Wolf Houston, it lands on a stage built for chaos, camp, and fun.”
