    Closed Captioning:

     

  • Welcome, you wonderfully weird creatures of the night! The Rocky Horror Show is a high-energy cult classic that’s as bold as it is bizarre— and it’s definitely meant for adults. 

     

    The show includes:

    • Sexual themes, innuendo, and suggestive dialogue

    • Revealing costumes

    • Some adult language

    • Moments of simulated violence and horror parody

     

    You’ll also encounter strobe lights, loud noises (thunder & lightning), and plenty of audience participation (think vulgar shout-backs, props, and lots of noise). Viewer discretion is advised...and fishnets are encouraged.

     

    And we love your energy but remember—this is live theatre! So, no tossing toast, sprinkling rice, lighting flames, or any of that chaos. Don't make it awkward...follow the rules, dammit, and let’s raise hell the safe way.
