Get ready to “do the time warp again” with the cult-classic musical The Rocky Horror Show, live and interactive at Center Stage Theater Oct. 31-Nov. 4. Tickets start at $15. For tickets, call the box office, 963-0408, or visit www.centerstagetheater.org/.
A satirical tribute to the science fiction and B-list horror movies of the 20th century, The Rocky Horror Show is about two naive lovers, Brad and Janet.
Seeking shelter from a thunderstorm in an old castle, they find themselves thrust into the laboratory of the cross-dressing mad scientist Dr. Frank ‘N’ Furter and his motley crew.
Stripped of inhibitions — and their clothes — Brad and Janet embark on a wild journey of pleasure and self-discovery. Reality, fiction and camp collide in this mash-up of comics, rock and roll, and late-night horror flicks.
Full of frothy frivolity and scandalous sensations, this iconic rock n’ roll musical features favorites like “Time Warp,” “Touch-a, Touch-a, Touch Me,” “Damn It Janet” and “Science Fiction/Double Feature.”
Prop kits, included with all premium seating tickets, make this a night of interactive fun.
