One fateful night, Brad Majors (played by Shane Taylor) and his fiancée, Janet Weiss (Madison Hatfield) — a wholesome, well-behaved, utterly normal young couple in love — innocently set out to visit an old professor. Unfortunately for them, this night out is destined to be one they will never forget. A thunderstorm and a flat-tire force them to seek help at the castle of Dr. Frank ’N’ Furter (Benjamin Gullett), an alien, transvestite scientist with a manic genius and insatiable libido. Brad, Janet, and Frank’ N’ Furter’s cohorts are swept up into the scientist’s latest experiment. The night’s misadventures will cause Brad and Janet to question everything they’ve known about themselves, each other, love, and lust. A loving homage to the classic B sci-fi film and horror genres with an irresistible rock ‘n’ roll score, “The Rocky Horror Show” is a hilarious, wild ride that no audience will soon forget.
