THE ROCKY HORROR SHOW Begins 10/2 at Sherman Playhouse
On October 2, The Sherman Playhouse will premiere the outrageous cult musical comedy THE ROCKY HORROR SHOW, with Book, Lyrics, and Music by Robert O'Brien.
On the way to visit an old college professor, two clean-cut young people, Brad Majors and his fiancée Janet Weiss, run into trouble and seek help at the freaky Frankenstein mansion. However, little do they know that the estate is inhabited by alien transsexuals from the planet Transylvania, and Dr. Frank N. Furter is in the midst of one of his maniacal experiments. What transpires is nothing less than THE ROCKY HORROR SHOW, one of the most deliberately kitschy, campy, funny, rock 'n' roll, sci-fi, gothic epics to ever grace the stage.
The production features many actors from the region: Fred Rueck (Patterson, N.Y.), Carly Phypers (Brewster, N.Y.), Sarah Hammer (Trumbull), Marisa Caron (Southbury), Jillian Kelsey (Bethel), Viv Berger (Middlebury), Beth Lang (Dover Plains, N.Y.), Phaedra Harris and Diana Downes (both Sherman), Michael and Jerusha Wright (both Newtown), Shawn Brown, Jim Dietter, and Christine and Maya Daley (all Danbury).
