It wouldn't be Pride in Toronto without a screening of *The Rocky Horror Picture Show*. This year, the cult classic returns to the Hot Docs Ted Rogers Cinema for a special Pride edition that promises to be as wild and satirical as ever.
The Experience
Toronto’s own shadow cast, Excited Mental State, will be performing live alongside the film. If you’ve never seen a shadow cast performance, you’re in for a treat—it’s an interactive, comedic, and high-energy experience that turns the movie into a full-blown event. The mantra is simple: "Don't dream it, be it." Dress up in your best Rocky Horror-inspired attire and get ready to do the Time Warp.
Practical Tips
While the event is interactive, please note that outside food, drinks, oversized water guns, and organic projectiles like toast or rice are prohibited to keep the cinema clean and safe. Doors open 45 minutes before the screening, so arrive early to secure your spot and get into the spirit of the night.
