Don your leather jacket, corset, and fishnet tights, because on June 4th, DeLand Pride and the Absent Friends are bringing the cult classic “The Rocky Horror Picture Show” back to the Athens Theatre after much “antici… pation.”
Whether you are experiencing “Rocky” for the first or 100th time (as long as you are over the age of 18) we invite you to come and do “The Time Warp” again.
The evening will consist of a pre-show featuring several DeLand Pride drag performances (bring those $ bills for tips!) and the Absent Friends (with emcee Robert Baldwin) with their hysterical Rocky-virgin initiation fun, the ever-popular 1975 20th Century Fox film, live shadow cast (in other words, costumed actors portraying the movie while it is being screened above), dancing, and audience participation (with call backs and prop bags).
The film’s plot revolves around a newly engaged and admittedly naïve couple (Brad and Janet) who get stranded on the side of the road during a stormy night and seek refuge in the nearby castle of a strange (yet alluring) Dr. Frank-N-Furter. From there the story becomes increasingly more ridiculous, raunchy, and above all, fun.
To make the show more accessible, we have moved the “midnight showing” up to 8:00 p.m., opening with all the “normal” fun frivolity of welcomes, initiating the “Rocky Virgins,” and giving patrons a chance to purchase bags filled with audience participation props.
The audience is encouraged to come in costume, sing along with the songs, dance the dances, and utilize their approved audience participation props.
Any unapproved props will be confiscated at the door.
Fl state law requires us to state that this event is an 18 and over event only. Individuals under the age of 18 will not be admitted. A Valid ID will be necessary for entry.
