ATLANTA — For Barry Bostwick in 1975, playing dorky Brad Majors in a weird low-budget film called “The Rocky Horror Picture Show” was just an opportunity to do a musical and get a leading role on his resumé.
Little did he or anybody know that this would become his defining career move courtesy of a group of “Rocky Horror” acolytes in New York City turning the movie into an interactive midnight phenomenon in the late 1970s. Troupes of “shadow” actors replicating the movie in front of the movie screen itself popped up all over the United States.
In Atlanta, different groups have done so over 40-plus years but the most enduring one to date has been LDOD, which was originally called Lips Down on Dixie until the word “Dixie” became politically incorrect.
