Rocky Horror Show opens this weekend at the Warner

TORRINGTON — Back by popular demand! The Warner Stage Company’s celebrates Halloween with Rocky Horror Show October 15 - 29 at the Warner’s Nancy Marine Studio Theatre.

Based on the 1975 British film, The Rocky Horror Picture Show, Rocky Horror is a spoof on the 1950’s sci-fi horror films. The story is narrated by a criminologist (Mario Barboza) who, reading from a leather bound report titled, “The Denton Affair”, tells the tale of newly engaged couple, Brad Majors (played by Dan Porri) and Janet Weiss (Julie Hart), who find themselves lost and with a flat tire on a rainy, late November evening. Seeking a phone with which to call for help, the two knock on the door of a nearby castle and are swept into the bizarre world of Dr. Frank N Furter (Brian D. Fortin).

Rocky Horror is famous for its interactive elements and audience participation. With this in mind, the Warner Theatre Stage Company will have audience participation bags available for purchase before the show that will include: water guns, vinyl gloves, newspapers, finger flashlight, confetti and playing cards. Patrons will not be allowed to bring their own props into the performance.
