Men, women reverse roles for APT fundraiser

As Valentine's Day approaches, many men and women will be making every effort to think like the opposite sex. This weekend they can dress the part, too.

The Auburn Public Theater will host a weekend of cross-dressing craziness beginning on Friday with two screenings of the cinematic monument to tranvestism, “The Rocky Horror Picture Show.” The following night, Auburn resident Jesse Kline will host her 10th annual Valentine's Cross Dressing Party on the theater floor, where rice, toilet paper and toast may or may not remain from the previous night's ruckus.

The film screenings are an outgrowth of Kline's party, which she has been organizing in order to lighten the stress of the swollen emotions people tend to experience every Feb. 14.
