Transvestite Soup is the shadow cast for the Rocky Horror Picture Show (RHPS) in the Twin Cities and Metro Area of Minneapolis and St. Paul, MN.
We perform at the Uptown Theatre in Minneapolis, MN, typically on the last Saturday night of every month. The show starts at Midnight Saturday night; doors open at 11:45pm.

Content Warning
Rocky Horror is a lot of things to a lot of people. For some, it’s low-brow fun and a chance to be vulgar for vulgarity’s sake. For others, it’s about reclaiming and taking power away from slurs such as “slut”, “fag”, and more. Sometimes it’s both, and sometimes it’s neither. The film itself is absurd, campy, meta, and rated R.
It is important to us that everyone who wants to attend The Rocky Horror Picture Show at Upton Theatre has the tools to feel safe.
Be advised of the following content warnings for our show:
- Sexual and Identity Slurs
- Simulated Sex
- Simulated Sexual Assault
- Simulated Violence
- Very, very poor taste
When you attend a Transvestite Soup show at Uptown Theater, you have until the end of “Science Fiction Double Feature” (the song at the beginning with the lips) to leave and get a refund if you decide it’s not for you.
Tips Appreciated!
Transvestite Soup is an all-volunteer cast and we do not get paid anything to put on this show. If you want to leave us a tip after the show, we really love that! It helps us pay for costumes, props, and printing programs.
