ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW Experience to Garden Theatre for Halloween

Back by popular demand, The Rocky Horror Picture Show Experience returns to the Garden Theatre for the third year this October. On October 31, 2018 starting at 10:00 pm, fans of the cult classic will have the chance to view the movie and engage in fun activities with hostess Miss P. Tart. Tickets are available now at gardentheatre.org/movies. The Rocky Horror Picture Show Experience is rated R, and children 17 years old or younger must be accompanied by an adult.

The Rocky Horror Picture Show did not become an instant hit after its 1975 release but has built a cult following since the original premiere. Telling the story of young and stranded sweethearts who meet the mad Dr. Frank N. Furter, the movie engages the audience with interactive scenes throughout the film. Now-iconic songs such as "The Time Warp," "Sweet Transvestite," and "Dammit, Janet" intersperse the horror-parody plot involving Janet, Brad, Riff Raff, Magenta, Columbia, and others.

Garden Theatre doors will open at 9:30 pm. From 9:30 - 10:15, Miss Tart and her assistants will host themed trivia and games, and guests can take photobooth pictures, learn the "Time Warp," and more! At 10:15 pm Miss Tart will judge the costume contest, and the movie will begin at 10:30 pm.

Audience members are encouraged to participate by dancing along to "The Time Warp," and by using the props in the prop bags available for purchase. At the Garden Theatre showing, no outside props will be allowed inside the theatre; however, audience members may purchase prop bags for $8. Audience members are encouraged to dress as a Rocky Horror character or another character of their choosing. Guests must be inside the building by 10:00 pm to be considered for the costume contest.

Prizes for the costume contest may include season tickets to Garden Theatre shows and Garden Theatre swag.

Tickets: $12. Prop bags may be purchased for $8. Tickets are reserved seating.

Tickets may be purchased by calling 407.877.4736 ext. 0, in person at the Garden Theatre Box Office at 160 West Plant Street in Winter Garden, or online at gardentheatre.org.
