Presented with Connecticut Deaf Theatre

May 8-10 at 7pm

Following the success of a one-night workshop in November 2024, Little Theatre of Manchester brings back the American Sign Language-infused production of Richard O'Brien's The Rocky Horror Show in collaboration with Connecticut Deaf Theatre. 

Sweethearts Brad and Janet, stuck with a flat tire during a storm, discover the eerie mansion of Dr. Frank-N-Furter. As their innocence is lost, Brad and Janet meet a houseful of wild characters, including a rocking biker and a creepy butler. Through elaborate dances and rock songs, Frank-N-Furter unveils his latest creation: a muscular man named “Rocky.” And this deliberately kitschy rock ‘n' roll sci-fi gothic musical is more accessible than ever where audiences can see and hear every lyric as they do the time warp again!
