Theatre Department Presents “The Rocky Horror Show”

Truman's Theatre Department will perform “The Rocky Horror Show” at 7:30 p.m. April 11-13 and April 19-20 in the James Severns Theatre. There will also be a matinee performance at 2 p.m. April 14.

This irreverent show follows Brad and Janet, a young engaged couple whose car breaks down in a storm, forcing them to seek shelter in a neighboring castle inhabited by the sensual Dr. Frank-N-Furter and his minions. Brad and Janet are introduced to Frank-N-Furter’s servants, the reclusive scientist Riff Raff, the alluring maid Magenta, and one of his most devoted sycophants, Columbia. Frank-N-Furter reveals he has been working on crafting the apex of humanity, a creation named Rocky Horror, for his own devious purposes. The castle’s resident phantoms and a narrator with a flare for the dramatic help usher the story along. Unforgettable songs, dazzling costumes and a live cast will have people dancing in their seats.

This production is intended for mature audiences 18 and up. Tickets are $10 and can be purchased at boxoffice.truman.edu. For more information, contact the Truman Theatre Box Office at 660.785.4515 between 11:30 a.m. and 5:30 p.m. Monday through Friday.
