Are you ready to dig out those fishnets and sharpen your stilettos? Then head on out to audition for Showbiz Players’ production of THE ROCKY HORROR SHOW! This show tells the story of two clean cut kids, Brad Majors and Janet Weiss, who run into car trouble and seek help at the site of light down the road. Little do they know it’s coming from the place where Dr. Frank N Furter is in the midst of his maniacal experiments. The play is a rock musical, a spoof of science fiction movies, and a bizarre story of seduction and sexual confusion!
