THE ROCKY HORROR SHOW Returns to New Hope

By:
Dr. Frank N. Furter and his wacky entourage return to New Hope, PA when The Rocky Horror Show comes to the New Hope Arts Center later this month.

Performances are scheduled for Friday, October 23 at 9 pm, Saturday, October 24 at 9 pm, Friday, October 30 at 9 pm and Saturday, October 31 at 8 pm and 11 pm. Tickets are $22 online and $25 at the door. The New Hope Arts Center seats 130 so purchasing tickets in advance is highly suggested.

On a dark and stormy night, Brad Majors and Janet Weiss find themselves lost and with a flat tire. Their only choice for help is to knock on the door of a nearby castle where they find Dr. Frank N. Furter and a group of strange characters holding their annual Transylvanian convention. The ensemble includes his servants Riff Raff and Magenta and a groupie named Columbia. The highlight of the evening is the introduction of Dr. Frank's ultimate creation, the muscular, Rocky, who seems to be the object of everyone's affection. The question: Will Brad and Janet be able to escape the clutches of Dr. Frank or will they become his play things like the rest of his zany crew?

The Rocky Horror Show has garnered a huge cult following in the region due to annual performances in New Hope, PA over the last 2 decades. This production of The Rocky Horror Show features actors who continue to play their characters annually. Louis Palena will play Dr. Frank N. Furter and Jill Palena will reprise the role of Janet Weiss. David Whiteman and Jenny Johnson return to the roles of Dr. Scott and Eddie while New Hope, PA resident Lewis Matheney portrays Rocky. This production is an audience participation show with the audience encouraged to dress up as their favorite characters and verbally respond to the performance as it happens. Audience participation packages will be on sale at the theatre prior to all shows.

The Rocky Horror Show presented by the Downtown Performing Arts Center and Curtain Up Productions will be performed at the New Hope Arts Center, located at 2 Stockton Avenue (Corner of Bridge Street and Stockton Ave.) in New Hope, PA. Seats are general admission with only 130 seats are available for each performance.
