Rocky Horror Show; An American Sign Language-Infused Production at The Little Theatre of Manchester

ONE NIGHT ONLY

RICHARD O’BRIEN’S THE ROCKY HORROR SHOW

An American Sign Language-Infused Production

Thursday, November 14 “One of the most mutated, time-warped phenomena in show business.” — The New York Times

AN INCLUSIVELY STAGED CONCERT

Let’s do the time warp again! This cult classic is now a sensory celebration event! 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.

What does "ASL-infused" mean?

Everything will be signed and voiced onstage together — there's not only sign language onstage nor is it just the voiced actors onstage with interpreters supporting them. The signing will occur onstage with the actors. This is different from a "shadow cast" where the voice is primary and the ASL interpreter follows the action onstage interpreting for the voice. This show contains full accessibility onstage at all times.

I'm Deaf - will I be able to fully understand the show?

Yes! This show is all about inclusivity and our co-directing team have worked together to ensure full access at all times for our Deaf and hard of hearing audience members.

I'm hearing - will I be able to fully understand the show?

Yes! Everything is sung/spoken in English as well as signed. This is a unique experience that EVERYONE can appreciate and learn from.

Will the audience be able to participate in the callbacks?

Yes! We do ask that our audience limits the responses to those that will be provided the night of, as we have integrated an accessible format for the entire audience to be included.

Is there assigned seating for accessibility?

No, we've made an effort to make sure all seats are accessible; however, if you do not need visual proximity in order to understand the show, we ask that you do not sit in the first few rows to allow for others that may.
