Rocky Horror Tribute Show
Friday, October 20-Sunday, October 22, Various times
$15-$75
Shiver with antici…pation! Theatre Horizon presents their first ever Rocky Horror Tribute Show this Halloween season, directed by and starring beloved Philadelphia drag legend Eric Jaffe. Jaffe leads a cast of Philadelphia favorites, including Shannon Turner as Riff Raff, Martine Schmidt as Columbia/Eddie, Brennen Malone as Brad, Jakeya Sanders as Magenta, Avery Israel as Janet, and Lex Thammavong as Rocky. This one-of-a-kind tribute show will honor (and interrogate) the cult classic, where audiences can get in on the action (or sit back safely in their seats to watch). The show includes a partial movie screening with live musical performances, under the music direction of Lili St. Queer.
In this cult classic, sweethearts Brad and Janet, stuck with a flat tire during a storm, discover the eerie mansion of Dr. Frank-N-Furter. As their innocence is lost, Brad and Janet meet a houseful of wild characters, including a rocking biker and a creepy butler. Through elaborate dances and rock songs, Frank-N-Furter unveils his latest creation: “Rocky.”
