Rocky Horror Meets Broadway: Park Circle Pride Edition

Charleston's Absent Friends (CAF) are jazzing up Rocky Horror (can you believe it's possible?!) with some extra fun this year by drawing from Broadway favorites. The show's additional glam will include preshow drag routines from The Book of Mormon and Cabaret, among others, in addition to Rocky character revamps with characters from the same musicals. Look forward to a highly entertaining mash-up of fandoms the likes of which you've never seen!

Remember this is a bring-your-own seating event, so pack your camp chairs and blankets for tailgate-style viewing. Doors open at 7:30 show starts at 8:00(ish—or when the sun sets!).

There will also be a:

• Pride COSTUME CONTEST for a killer prize—go all out in Rocky, Broadway, or Pride gear for a chance to win
• RAFFLE BASKET featuring all sorts of Rocky Horror, Broadway, and Pride fun! $1 tickets to enter
• Broadway-themed VIRGIN SACRIFICE game with prizes from our CAF sponsors!
