Rocky Horror Picture Show – REVIEW
Don’t Dream It. Be It.
The Rocky Horror Picture Show comes to the Pompano Beach Cultural Center, with special guest Barry Bostwick.
October 1st, 2022
Last night at the Pompano Beach Cultural Center, audience members took a solemn oath “to strike a blow for glamor and frivolity, for six-inch heels, for interplanetary intercourse, and for the Transylvanian Way”.
Glamor and frivolity ensued as the opulent and enigmatic story of The Rocky Horror Picture Show unraveled on screen, accompanied by a live shadow cast, which reenacted the film as it played.
Barry Bostwick, who portrayed Brad Majors in the original film, has been touring with the show for its 47th anniversary. He opened the film with a touching and humorous speech attesting to the movie’s lasting impact and appeal. The crowd, a mixture of young and old, reflected this point. Bostwick, whose Rocky Horror character has been dubbed “asshole” by fans, discussed his nickname jokingly and played along with fans who shouted out the moniker.
Equally as interactive as the fans were the staff members at the Cultural Center, who had seemingly encyclopedic knowledge of the show. As the film played, employees, working both among the audience and backstage, shared in the fun. One man in particular, who stood in the audience, shouted out every “heckling” line in sync with a select few veteran Rocky Horror fans in the crowd.
The show, however, was not just for knowledgeable fans of Rocky Horror. The prop bags, which cost five dollars, have guides attached for less experienced audience members that dictate when to use each prop. This allows for synchronized toast-tossings and glove-snappings throughout the performance, a staple of the Rocky Horror Picture Show experience.
The cast, like the committed fans, did not miss a beat, as they followed the motions and dialogue of the characters over the course of the 98-minute run-time. They faced the audience for the entirety of the show, rarely having to reference the screen behind them for guidance and mouthed the lyrics to every song impeccably.
The Rocky Horror Picture Show is, at its core, a story of liberation and acceptance. Audience members are encouraged to leave their dignity at the door as they enter the theater, allowing for a freeing environment for both new and returning fans of Rocky Horror. In the darkness of the theater, as the audience chants the mantra “Don’t Dream It. Be it,” you are left with the feeling that you are a part of something bigger than yourself, a feeling that persists even after the movie concludes.

From neuroscience to cryotherapy, the Eudēmonia Summit turned flourishing into a full sensory experience. Every corner offered something new to taste, try, or feel.
November 17, 2025
Eudēmonia might be an unfamiliar word, but its meaning is timeless. Flourishing. Living well. Thriving in every sense. And that spirit defined the entire second annual Eudēmonia Summit in West Palm Beach, where science, wellness, and curiosity came together for a weekend that felt both grounding and energizing.
From the moment guests stepped inside the Palm Beach Convention Center, the tone was set. The lighting was warm, the installations thoughtfully designed, and the air carried a calm that encouraged everyone to slow down and simply take it all in. Attendees wandered through the space with a mix of wonder and intention, sampling wellness drinks, speaking with experts, stretching through guided movement zones, and exploring an impressive collection of new health technologies. It felt like stepping into a world where taking care of yourself was the main priority.
The speaker lineup delivered nonstop inspiration. Andrew Huberman translated neuroscience into everyday tools. Amy Shah made gut health refreshingly clear. Dave Asprey drew crowds eager to understand longevity from a practical angle. Dan Buettner brought the joy and storytelling behind the Blue Zones to life. Halle Berry added a touch of movie star brilliance and genuine heart as she shared her personal approach to wellness. Each session felt polished, purposeful, and packed with insights that guests immediately wanted to try at home.
The Exposome floor was the true heartbeat of the event. It buzzed with people rotating between red light therapy, cryotherapy boosts, aromatherapy experiences, meditation pods, hydration bars, and interactive recovery stations. Brands showcased products that blended science with sensory appeal, and guests moved between booths with an easy mix of curiosity and play. Everywhere you looked, someone was discovering something new.
What made the weekend stand out was how natural the sense of community felt. Conversations sparked over tastings, product demos, and shared favorite sessions. People compared wellness readings, swapped recommendations, and connected over a mutual desire to feel better and live with intention. Nothing felt forced or overly formal. Instead, the summit created space for authentic connection and genuine enthusiasm.
At the center of everything was the idea of the exposome, the concept that our daily environment shapes our health far more than we often realize. The food we eat, the stress we carry, the people we interact with, and the choices we make again and again all leave an imprint. Throughout the weekend this idea transformed from theory into something beautifully practical. Guests began seeing small daily habits as powerful tools rather than obligations.
By the end of the summit, attendees walked out with tote bags filled with wellness products and notebooks full of ideas, but more importantly, they left with a refreshed understanding of what it means to truly flourish. The second year of Eudēmonia felt bigger, smarter, and more vibrant than the first, signaling that it is quickly becoming one of the most compelling wellness gatherings in South Florida.
If flourishing had a destination this weekend, it was here.
