TWO MASTERPIECES OF GLAM ROCK AND HORROR IN ONE SMASH SHOW!
All in support of Transgender Law Center

THE ROCKY HORROR SHOW and HEDWIG & THE ANGRY INCH

This is not a movie screening, or a shadow cast, this is the real deal.
Two of your favorite Broadway musicals presented back-to-back as a live double feature!

The Rocky Horror Show: The cult classic phenomenon that tells the story of two naïve lovers, Brad and Janet, who just want to use the goddamn telephone. It starts with a flat tire, but ends with an orgy of sex and death. Seeking shelter from a thunderstorm in an old castle, they find themselves thrust into the laboratory of pansexual, mad scientist Dr. Frank-N-Furter and his gang of sadistic minions. Stripped of their inhibitions—and their clothes—Brad and Janet embark on a wild, unforgettable odyssey of carnal pleasures and self-discovery.

MORE SEX! MORE BLOOD! MORE MUSCLE! This is The Rocky Horror Show like you’ve never seen before. Bikers! Go-go girls! Aliens! All through the lens of 1960s and 70s exploitation film. Our show goes where other late-night lingerie shows don’t dream of going. It begs the audience – don’t dream it, be it.

HEDWIG & THE ANGRY INCH: The award winning raw, emotional, and darkly comedic story of “internationally ignored song stylist” Hedwig Schmidt, a fourth-wall smashing East German rock ‘n’ roll deity. Through a mix of monologue and rock songs Hedwig recounts her life journey – a powerful exploration of identity, love, betrayal, transformation, and the search for wholeness. Amid the gags, riffs, and glam rock set list, Hedwig sucker-punches you with her story—that search for your other half, whatever or whoever that is, that feeling of not fitting in, of being the odd one out, and what it means to finally embrace your fractured self and fi nd liberation through self-acceptance.

Note: Thank you for respecting our cast and venue. Come dressed as your favorite character, but remember audience participation in the form of water pistols, confetti, rice, or fire is prohibited. We will have audience participation kits available to purchase.
