While audiences take a journey into the unknown with Brad and Janet, the Leather Medusas, a returning troupe of performers, will take the stage to perform a shadow cast -- a simultaneous enactment of what is happening on the screen.

A 1975 cult classic, Rocky Horror Picture Show follows the story of Brad (Barry Bostwick) and Janet (Susan Sarandon) as they encounter the otherworldly mansion of Dr. Frank-N-Furter, played by Tim Curry. Songs and shenanigans ensue as Frank-N-Furter reveals his latest creation, Rocky, and murders the rebellious delivery boy, Eddie, played by 1970s rocker Meat Loaf.  Throughout the tale, Brad and Janet learn about themselves, Frank-N-Furter and his houseful of kooky characters.
