Returning to the Classic Center for the second year, The Rocky Horror Picture Show is a cult classic musical comedy horror film from 1975 that tells the story of a young couple, Brad and Janet, stumbling upon a castle full of interesting inhabitants, including iconic characters such as Frank-N-Furter, played by Tim Curry, and Riff Raff, played by the film’s creator, Richard O’Brien. Live productions of The Rocky Horror Picture Show are known for their immersive nature, including audience participation and interactive elements. Accordingly, the Classic Center has partnered with Dancefx Athens for this production to feature a “shadow cast,” a troupe of players who act out the movie on stage as it plays on the screen. There will also be a costume contest for the first 15 contestants that sign up, and prop bags will be available for purchase as ticket add-ons.
