The Rocky Horror Show

Where: 11 Anderson Street SE, Marietta

The musical that became a movie and started a 35-year nonstop cultural phenomenon is back. A sexy, wild, funny, tongue-in-cheek interactive time warp through a kaleidoscope of camp with a musical score that has become iconic—one show-stopper after another. Strange things happen when Brad and Janet, a clean-cut young couple from the suburbs, get caught with a flat tire in the middle of nowhere. After an incredible night at the Frankenstein place, they learn a little bit about themselves and the world. For mature audiences only. For actor safety, no outside props will be allowed. 'Goodie Bags' with approved props will be available for purchase at the door for $2 each.
Cost: $25 a ticket
