AMC ad from 1985

This is an AMC newspaper ad from January 25, 1985 (I came across it online). What's interesting is if you scroll down to the bottom for the midnight movies you'll see RHPS playing at 4 AMC Theatres: Almeda East, North Oaks, Festival, and Southway. And as far as I know only Almeda had a cast. Were there others?

Port Arthur Newspaper Clip

I'm still not having much luck on my Rocky Horror Road Show search, but I found this blurb mentioning the film moving from the Gaylynn to the Lamar Cinema.

Tower Theatre

Before beginning its lengthy run at the Alabama theater Rocky Horror played briefly at the Tower theater on Westheimer.  The Tower theater first opened on February 14, 1936 - 3 years before the Alabama and  River Oaks opened their doors.  It closed it's doors in August, 1978, and the building has since gone through several incarnations - including a concert hall, video store, and now a Tex-Mex restaurant.  Happily, the marquee is still standing.

1978 at the Summit

I've been able to find out very little about this event.  I have a hunch it's a traveling production from Dallas, but I'm still trying to find out more details. The Rice Thresher refers to it as the "Rocky Horror Road Show" in a "notes and notices" blurb on November 2, 1978, but I haven't been able to find any newspaper articles or reviews; only this advertisement in the Houston Chronicle.

Edited to add:

Here is a ticket stub from the event!  I am so grateful!!  I'm trying to follow up on some other incredible leads.  I'm just baffled that I couldn't find anything in the Chron or Post besides the ad.
