Calling all transvestites, extraterrestrials and men with no neck. This Saturday and Sunday, local English-language theater group Seoul Players are holding auditions for this year's Rocky Horror Shadow Cast.
Every Halloween for the past eight years, Seoul Players have staged the wildly popular event, with live actors acting out and dancing to the 1975 musical comedy horror “Rocky Horror Picture Show” as it screens behind them.

Auditions are held in one-hour time slots, and those interested should email
