Synopsis

Get ready for an out of this world adventure featuring a cast of wild characters in Richard O’Brien’s The Rocky Horror Show. This campy musical comedy that inspired the cult film classic will have audiences shouting from their seats and “Time Warp”ing in the aisles. Traveling to visit their former science teacher, naïve sweethearts Brad & Janet experience car trouble and stumble upon the eerie home of Dr. Frank-N-Furter. Trapped inside with strange, scantily clad Transylvanians, Brad and Janet find themselves at the mercy of Frank and his motley crew. No one's lives or libidos will ever be the same after this stormy, sexy night where impulses are acted upon, secrets are revealed and lessons are learned. Audience response is encouraged and participation kits will be sold in the lobby for an additional fee.
