No outside Props will be admitted into the theater, Sorry folks... no one under 18 years old will be permitted *The Rocky Horror Picture Show* is a film based on a musical made in the early 1970's. The original musical was a campy comedy making fun of all the horrible sci-fi and “B”-movies of the 1940's, 50’s and 60's: A variety of weird and naughty things happen to a nice, little Middle-American couple (Brad & Janet). When they stumble upon an annual convention of aliens, all lead by a cross-dressing doctor bent on making himself a Frankenstein-style monster/playmate. Depravity, singing, dancing, and eventually, mutiny ensues! The Shadow Cast: A shadow cast is a group of performers who study the film or video recordings for the sole purpose of adapting/interpreting it into a pantomime stage performance. When done well, everything that goes on in the film is performed by live actors in perfect synch while the film plays. The Audience: Yes, YOU get to be part of the show! Many audience members express themselves through attire: whether to mimic their favorite characters, elicit a reaction from fellow theater-goers, or to flaunt their own flavor of depravity. We encourage you to dress as your favorite character. The weirder...the better! The Rich Weirdos https://richweirdoes.com/ Orlando’s Premier Rocky Horror Picture Show Shadowcast! They have been active since 2002 and take great pride in being one of the most memorable casts you’ll ever see perform Rocky!	Buy tickets

Can she pass the Sensitivity Test, marry her prince and help others to the altar? Carried on a wave of wonderful songs, this rollicking spin on the classic tale The Princess and the Pea provides some side-splitting shenanigans. For after all, a princess is a delicate thing. “As fresh, inventive and funny as ever... with wit and sophistication, and more important, human feeling.” – New York Daily News	Buy tickets
