It began there in May of 1976, just a month after the [[Waverly Theater]] in New York and on the same weekend as the Riverside ll in Austin, Texas. The Gentilly had a long tradition of rambunctious [[Audience Participation]], most famously for having a motorcycle drive through the audience when Eddie emerges from the deep freeze. The theater burned down in 1978, though the fire was not caused by any Rocky Horror antics. The theater was abandoned and ''Rocky Horror'' soon moved to the Plaza Lake Forest and Sena Mall. |
