THEATER | Monster-size musical
Dress in costume, buy a $5 prop bag from the folks at the Hoogland, and you’re set to be bedazzled and entertained past your wildest dreams by ADHD Productions’ Rocky Horror Show, the popular, interactive cult classic rock musical. Ralph Shank (pictured) plays the Transylvanian transvestite, Frank, while Katie Rasmussen and Patrick Russell take on the roles of the naïve couple ensnared in Frank’s erotically evil web. Conor McNamara portrays Rocky Horror, the Frankenstein-like creature, and Kelly Trier plays Dr. Scott. Mac Warren directs this adult-themed musical that includes a second show on Oct. 30, one minute before midnight. New Beginnings Photography Studio, Recycled Records and Alice FM97.7 are sponsors.
