Backstory and Context

The organization attracted some unwanted national attention when the mayor attempted to stop the organization from performing their version of the Rocky Horror Show. Private donors responded and funded the production which was staged at the University of West Virginia. The Thomas Jefferson Center for the Protection of Free Expression lampooned the mayor's attempt to ban the production by awarding him the "Muzzle" award in 2012.
