THE ROCKY HORROR SHOW
Warsaw Federal Incline Theatre
Feb. 16-March 5
East Price Hill

Directed by Matthew Wilson
Music directed by John Slate
Choreographed by Jenny Lutes

Cast: Tyler Kuhlman as Rocky, Rodger Pille as Narrator, Matt Krieg as Frank-n-Furter, Marissa Poole as Magenta,  Caroline Chisholm as Janet, Dakota Mullins as Brad, Dylan McGill as Eddie/Dr. Scott, Heather Hale as Columbia, Christopher Carter as Riff Raff
Phantom Ensemble: Kate Stark, Courtni Nicolaci, Michael Wright & Kyle Taylor

An outrageously entertaining tribute to the B-movie horror films of the late 1940s! On a dark and stormy night, innocent fiancée’s Brad and Janet have their lives turned upside down by Dr. Frank ‘n Furter and his household of sexually adventuresome Transylvanians. When the good doctor reveals his artificially made, fully grown, physically perfect, muscle man named Rocky Horror, complete “with blond hair and a tan”, the possibilities become endless and the party gets completely out of hand! And it’s filled with endearingly weirdo, theatrically boffo tunes like “Dammit Janet”, “I Can Make You a Man” and the classic Let’s Dance the “Time Warp” Again!

From adoption agencies to vaginal discharge, from burlesque to good-byes, this up-close-and-personal night of storytelling is everything about those ten months you ever wanted to know (and probably plenty that you didn’t). Bring hankies.
