Dress Up, Shout Back, Join the Show
Rocky Horror has never been a sit-quietly kind of movie. Once the lights go down, the audience becomes part of the cast: shouting the callbacks, cheering for the heroes (and the villains) and jumping out of their seats for the Time Warp. Our LIVE shadow cast performs every scene in front of the big screen, and they feed off your energy, so bring plenty of it.
ASL Interpreted Performance: Friday, October 23 at 8:00 PM
Rocky Horror is a show built on audience participation, and everyone should get to be part of it. On Friday, October 23 at 8:00 PM, the performance will be interpreted in American Sign Language by Coman Certified Interpreting, so Deaf and hard of hearing guests can follow every line, every song and every callback alongside the rest of the crowd. Bring your friends, wear your costume and enter the contest just like any other night. Questions about the interpreted performance? Reach out to the box office at 727-842-6777 or boxoffice@richeysuncoasttheatre.com.
