Still doing the time warp: “The Rocky Horror Picture Show” is back

Xanna Prentice lost her virginity to “The Rocky Horror Picture Show” in a small independent movie theater in Tallahassee.

At 15 or 16 years old, she witnessed the raunchy and risque adaptation of the 1975 cult-classic film, three rows down from her history teacher.

Now 33, Prentice co-directs the fall and summer strings of “Rocky Horror” shows in Gainesville.

After its local debut at the since-closed arts venue High Dive, “The Rocky Horror Picture Show” is back for its yearly fall run.

The shadowcast production is performing six dates at The Wooly from Oct. 4, following the troupe's most successful season yet this past summer.

Prentice, the sole remaining member of the original High Dive troupe, has participated in the production since its 2013 inception.
