Moonbox Productions, winner of numerous IRNE and Elliot Norton Awards, is thrilled to present Richard O’Brien’s hilarious cult classic, The Rocky Horror Show.
Tickets are $50 VIP seating/$35 general admission/$30 Seniors/$25 Students ($20 student rush ½ prior to performance).
Produced by Sharman Altshuler and directed by David Lucey, The Rocky Horror Show is a humorous tribute to the science fiction and horror B movies of the late 1940s through to the early 1970s.
A cult classic, The Rocky Horror Show tells the story of Brad Majors and his fiancée, Janet Weiss, who get caught in a thunderstorm with a flat-tire and are forced to seek help at the castle of Dr. Frank ’N’ Furter, a 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, a Frankenstein-style monster in the form of an artificially made, fully grown, physically perfect muscle man named Rocky Horror. The night’s misadventures will cause Brad and Janet to question everything they’ve known about themselves, each other, love, and lust. With an irresistible rock ’n’ roll score, The Rocky Horror Show is a hilarious, wild ride, that no audience will soon forget.
