Richard O'Brien News

The Old Globe has announced it's upcoming events from September through December. Among the theatre's offerings are THE TEMPEST, MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING, and SOMEWHERE.

Today the Old Globe's Executive Producer Lou Spisto and James Barbour announced that Barbour has regretfully departed the role of Frank ‘N' Furter in The Old Globe's upcoming production of Richard O'Brien's The Rocky Horror Show due to issues with his wife's pregnancy. A replacement for the role will be announced soon.

In addition to its Mainstage and Children's Theatre seasons, The Way Off Broadway Dinner Theatre is also known for presenting a number of events throughout the year including interactive murder mysteries, princess and fairytale breakfasts, a wildly popular Breakfast with Santa (and Mrs. Claus), as well as special theatrical productions.

As part of the 27th annual Hillcrest CityFest, The Old Globe Theatre will present a flash mob of 'The Time Warp.'
