It was at the State one Halloween where Harter, dressed as a Smurf, was first asked to join the cast. Harter made some mis- takes that Halloween night, among them the blue acrylic paint he used suffocated his skin and peeled off midway through the show. Joining the cast, he said, was not one of those mistakes. It was at the State where Roller Derby Girl Cori Fulkerson assumed the role of transsexual transvestite Dr. Frank-N- Furter, tattooing her bicep to match the one worn by Tim Curry in the film.
