Oct 29 - Nov 2

 See It Live!

 The Lycoming College Theater Department will present Richard O’Brien’s Rocky Horror Show in the Mary L. Welch Theatre. Directed by Jerry D. Allen with Music Director Russ Wynn and Choreographer Billy Ross, the show will run from October 29-30, November 1-2 at 8:00 P.M. and November 3 at 7:00 P.M. with a special midnight Halloween performance on the 31.  

"Rocky Horror" is the story of a newly engaged couple, Brad (Tim Yorke) and Janet (Allie May) whose car breaks down, forcing them to seek help at a mysterious mansion. This turns out to be the home of Dr. Frank N. Furter (David Monti), an alien transvestite from the planet Transsexual in the galaxy of Transylvania. Frank N. Furter is working on an experiment to create the perfect man, resulting in Rocky (Matt Bruce). The play is a musical spoof of B-list movies, fairy tales, pantomimes, sci-fi movies and hammer horror films.

The Rocky Horror Show premiered in 1973 as a London stage production. It was a hit with the London audience, but it was quickly canceled in New York. The movie version of the play, "The Rocky Horror Picture Show," starring Tim Curry, Susan Sarandon, and Barry Bostwick was released in 1975, but it also bombed across the U.S. However, since that time, the movie has become a cult classic, in which audiences participate with the film using toilet paper, flashlights, playing cards, and much more.

G.L.O.B.A.L. will be selling "Audience participation kits" during each of the Lycoming College performances, and audience members are welcome to attend in costume. If you bring your own "participation kit" the following items will not be allowed: open flames (use a flashlight), water pistols (for the rain scene), and toast (this scene is not in the stage play.)

"All the members of the cast are looking forward to a top notch show. I have never had such an eager and talented cast in my nineteen years of teaching at Lycoming College.  It should prove to be a fun and different kind of evening for ‘Rocky Horror’ fans," said Jerry D. Allen, director.

The show contains adult themes and is not recommended for young audiences.  For more information, please contact the Box Office at 321-4048.
