Roxy Regional Theatre Opens THE ROCKY HORROR SHOW Tonight, 10/19

Here by popular demand, the Roxy Regional Theatre's revival of THE ROCKY HORROR SHOW opens tonight, October 19, at 8pm.

Richard O'Brien's cult favorite tells the story of Brad Majors and his fiancée Janet Weiss (played by Rob Rodems and Kaitlin Doughty), two clean-cut young people on the way to visit an old college professor. When they run into trouble and seek help at the freaky Frankenstein mansion, little do they know that Dr. Frank N. Furter (played by Matt Varelia) is in the midst of one of his maniacal experiments!

Directed and choreographed by Tom Thayer, THE ROCKY HORROR SHOW also features Ryan Bowie and Emily Eden as Riff Raff and Magenta, Michelle Foletta as Columbia, Colin Ryan as Eddie, Matt Casey as Rocky, Humberto Figueroa and Nicole Powell as phantoms, and John McDonald as Dr. Scott. Audiences will be doing the "Time Warp" to live music provided by Tom Thayer on piano, Jarrod Jackson on guitar, Bruce Ervin on bass, Thad Wallus on drums, and Johnny Tubbs on saxophone.

THE ROCKY HORROR SHOW is made possible in part through the generous support of Fort Campbell MWR.

This production is rated "M" for Mature. Audience participation is encouraged, and patrons are invited to dress up in their favorite ROCKY HORROR attire. Bags of props will also be for sale in the lobby one hour prior to every performance. The following items, however, will not be permitted: rice, confetti, glitter, squirt guns, lighters, matches, candles, silly spray string, or any other objects which may damage the theatre or injure actors and/or audience members.

THE ROCKY HORROR SHOW runs tonight, October 19 through November 10, playing Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays at 7pm and Fridays and Saturdays at 8pm, with a special midnight showing on Saturday, October 27, and a 2pm matinee on Saturday, November 3. Tickets are $25 and may be purchased online at www.roxyregionaltheatre.org, by phone at (931)645-7699, or at the theatre during regular box office hours (9am to 2pm, Monday through Friday). Military and APSU students with a current ID can enjoy two-for-one-tickets to Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday evening performances during the run.

Tonight, October 19, is our traditional pay-what-you-can preview of THE ROCKY HORROR SHOW. All tickets not pre-sold at the regular ticket price will go on sale at 7:30pm that evening for whatever amount patrons are able to pay.

A special midnight showing will be held on Saturday, October 27. Tickets are $25.
