THE ROCKY HORROR SHOW Returns to YLT with a Steampunk Twist

York Little Theatre presents THE ROCKY HORROR SHOW, LIVE, in the studio! Join that sweet transvestite and his minions with a twist this year-steampunk is added to the mix of the ever popular rock musical, THE ROCKY HORROR SHOW...just in time for Halloween! What is steampunk? It's all about mixing old and new: fusing the usability of modern technology with the design aesthetic and philosophy of the Victorian age. Expect to see a lot of Victorian inspired costumes and props...perfect for this twisted musical adventure that will get you into the Halloween spirit. The show is directed by Lee Howard. Choreography is by Catherine Howard. Music Direction is by Mike McGuinness.

A humorous tribute to the science fiction and horror B movies of the late 1940s through early 1970s, THE ROCKY HORROR SHOW tells the story of a newly engaged couple (played by Hillary Miller andMarquas Fountain) getting caught in a storm and coming to the castle of a mad transvestite scientist ("Frank'n'furter", played by Dalton Dietrick) unveiling his new creation, a muscle man named "Rocky Horror" (played by Jacob Tuszynski). The musical has developed a cult following and was also adapted into the 1975 film The Rocky Horror Picture Show, which today has a worldwide cult following and has the longest-running release in film history.

THE ROCKY HORROW SHOW runs October 18-19 & 25-26. Friday shows are at 9pm. Saturday shows are at 9pm and midnight. There will be small bags containing small props for sale that the audience can get into the action. Ticket price is $25. Go to www.ylt.org or call 717-854-5715 for tickets and more information. Tickets will be available at the door one hour before the performance, if available.
