A story of creation, love, hate, adventure (and sex), The Rocky Horror Show is the musical that created a sensation, spawning the cult film which is still running 35+ years after its premiere in 1975, earning it the title of the longest-running theatrical release in film history. With two hugely successful Broadway runs under its belt (1975 at the Belasco and 2000 at Circle in the Square), along with thousands of off-Broadway and regional runs, Richard O'Brien's The Rocky Horror Show is finally making its way to the Conejo Valley. It's time to come on out and "do the Time Warp" with The Conejo Players this Summer! And if you are adventurous, strap on those stilettos Tim Curry-style and check out the midnight Audience Par-tici-PATION shows on July 8th and 15th - all the Transylvanians will be out, in their best attire!

A nontraditional slant on classic 1950s horror flicks, our story begins in Denton, Ohio, with the engagement of Brad Majors and Janet Weiss. As they travel through a rainstorm to see "the man who began it," they stumble upon the castle of Dr. Frank-N-Furter. Upon taking refuge inside, the doctor's odd servants (Magenta and Riff-Raff) usher them into the lab for a party celebrating the unveiling of Frank's newest creation: the perfect man, Rocky. Over the course of the night, Frank seduces the unsuspecting couple, Janet gets in touch with a new side of herself, and with the arrival of Dr. Everett Scott, the guests discover that Frank is actually from another place entirely - the planet Transsexual in the galaxy Transylvania, to be specific! Frank reveals that he has succeeded in creating the Sonic Transducer, "an audio-vibratory physiomolecular transport device" capable of "breaking down solid matter and then projecting it through space and, who knows, perhaps even time itself!" With the clock ticking, the servants rebel and Janet and Brad are thrown to the mercy of the aliens... What will happen to these two lovebirds? You'll have to do the Time Warp to find out! Like the classic cult film, this deliberately kitschy, rock-gothic "Science-Fiction Double Feature" is a sure-fire way to get your heart thumping! Visit www.conejoplayers.org for more details.
