WARNING: This show is intended for mature audiences only, due to strong language and adult situations, this also applies to audition material.
This production will be the full book musical, not a shadow cast in front of the film. This production will require live singing, heavy dancing, and energy from start to finish!
One fateful night, Brad Majors and his fiancée, Janet Weiss — a wholesome, well-behaved, utterly normal young couple in love — innocently set out to visit an old friend, Dr. Evrett Scott. Unfortunately for them, this night out is destined to be one they will never forget. A thunderstorm and a flat-tire force them to seek help at the castle of Dr. Frank ’N’ Furter, an alien, transvestite scientist with a manic genius and insatiable libido. Brad, Janet, and Frank’ N’ Furter’s cohorts are swept up into the scientist’s latest experiment. The night’s misadventures will cause Brad and Janet to question everything they’ve known about themselves, each other, love, and lust. The precursor to the wellknown Rocky Horror Picture Show, RHS boasts a rich cult following with hilarious audience participation, as well as a wild and boisterous rock n’ roll score. Don’t miss your chance to do the Time Warp again!
