Patchogue Theatre's ROCKY HORROR Halloween Tradition with Continues 10/28

Patchogue Theatre for the Performing Arts (PTPA) is pleased to partner with ZEN Productions and The ZEN Room for the third consecutive year in a special presentation of 20th Century Fox's "The Rocky Horror Picture Show" on Saturday, Oct. 28, at 8 p.m. The Halloween weekend showing of the cult classic is one night only and will be accompanied by a live "shadowcast."

Probably the oddest, most off-the-wall cult film ever made, this kinky rock 'n' roll science fiction horror satire is everybody's favorite late night show. A young couple stumbles into a castle inhabited by weirdos from the planet Transylvania, including Dr. Frank N. Furter (Tim Curry), a cross-dressing Frankenstein in rhinestone heels. "The Rocky Horror Picture Show" is a marvelous musical spoof that urges, "Give yourself to total pleasure!"

The ZEN Room's live "shadowcast" enhances the experience on the Patchogue Theatre stage as they act out your favorite scenes with audience participation. Prop bags for the audience will be sold in the lobby for $5.00 prior to the show. The pre-show reception will begin at 7:30 p.m. and will include a Halloween costume contest with giveaways for first, second and third places, as well as the traditional "Virgin Sacrifice" on the Main Stage before the show. There will be a "meet & greet" with the shadowcast after the show in the Theatre lobby.

No rice, toast or any other food products will be allowed in the Theatre as they are a hazard and could cause injury to the performers on stage. Please be aware that strobe lights will be used during the show. As Patchogue Theatre for the Performing Arts policy with any R-rated film of explicit nature, all patrons under the age of 17 years old must be accompanied by an adult with valid identification that indicates date of birth. This policy will be strictly enforced so have your ID ready to be checked at the door.
Prior to showing.

"The Rocky Horror Picture Show" in 2015, Patchogue Theatre hasn't featured film since 2002 when the Theatre screened a Katharine Hepburn and Spencer Tracy film. Motion pictures regularly played at Patchogue Theatre when it was a movie house in the 1970s and 80s. In 1982, Patchogue Theatre was turned into a "triplex" with the Main House divided into two screens and the balcony was constructed to incorporate a third screen. It wasn't longer after in 1987 when the triplex closed and Patchogue Theatre remained empty and dark for eight years before being purchased and renovated by the Incorporated Village of Patchogue. A new film series will be introduced to the Theatre's programming in 2018. Tickets for "The Rocky Horror Picture Show" with live shadowcast are now available online, by phone or at the box office. Ticket prices range from $20 to $30, plus ticket convenience charges.
