This is not actors performing in front of a film, it’s the complete stage version with a fully live, in-your-face performance with a professional band. This cult classic horror/sci-fi parody takes place on a dark and stormy night, as innocent sweethearts Brad and Janet find themselves stranded on a lonely road. Weathering the storm in the mysterious mansion of Dr. Frank N. Furter, the young couple’s lives are turned upside down. The beloved musical, which inspired the long-running midnight movie, features classic songs such as “Sweet Transvestite”, “Science Fiction Double Feature”, “Damn It, Janet” and, of course, the pelvic-thrusting “Time Warp” (it’ll drive you insane).

The show is intended for mature audiences as the production deals heavily in adult themes.  Props for audience participation will be provided, nothing else will be allowed in.

The Rocky Horror Show is directed by Eric & Kelli Gaynor, with musical director Ben Discipio, choreographers Kim Misci & Tara Leary, stage manager Anthony Internicola,

and produced by Lauren Amaru & Bill Thompson. The cast includes Matt Honan as the Narrator, Nick Raponi as Frank N. Furter, Lauren Amaru as Magenta, Patrick Harris as Riff Raff, Jaime Montesano as Columbia, Jason Hair-Wynn as Rocky, Jonathan Barron as Eddie, Billy Thompson as Dr. Scott, Mark Damon as Brad, Madeline McCord as Janet, Melissa MacNeil and Amanda Arruda as the Usherettes, featuring Transylvanians Kristy Discipio, Laura Edwards, Samantha Hamilton, Tara Leary, Christina Lonardo, Briana McLean, Grace Meidanis, Kim Misci, Elyse Seltzer and Barbara Souza, with Kelli Gaynor and Christian Webster on vocals.
