‘Rocky Horror Show’ coming back to Roxy Regional Theatre for 12th year

CLARKSVILLE, TN − The 12th annual production of Richard O’Brien’s The Rocky Horror Show is coming up at the Roxy Regional Theatre, on Friday, October 18, at 7:00pm.

In this annual tradition on the corner of Franklin and First, Austin Michael Russell and Mallory Wintz star as sweethearts Brad and Janet, who innocently set out to visit an old professor one fateful night. The night out is destined to be one they will never forget, as a thunderstorm and a flat tire lead them to the castle of Dr. Frank-N-Furter, an alien, transvestite scientist with a manic genius and insatiable libido, played by a stiletto and fishnet stocking-clad Terrance McQueen.

Through elaborate dances and rock songs, Frank-N-Furter unveils his latest creation: a muscular man named Rocky. A loving homage to the cult-classic, sci-fi film and horror genres with an irresistible rock ‘n’ roll score, this is a hilarious, wild ride that Clarksville will not soon forget.

Directed by Leigh Martha Klinger, with music direction by Allison Kelly, choreography by Emily Ruck and assistant choreography by Alex Vanburen, The Rocky Horror Show features Alex Vanburen as Riff Raff, Ashley Birnbaum as Magenta, Madeline Acquaviva as Columbia, David Papel as Eddie and Dr. Scott, and Matthew Hawkins as Rocky. This year, the role of the Narrator will be played by Noel Rennerfeldt, with Kyle King and Tiffany Hill from the Q Morning Crew on Q108 filling in as special guest narrators on Saturday, October 19. Prepare to dance the “Time Warp” like never before to a live band featuring Arielle Chambers on piano, Thad Wallus on guitar, Caleb Barlow on bass, and Bernard Lott on drums.

The Rocky Horror Show is recommended for mature audiences only, due to language and content. This production also contains pulsating lighting and fog effects. Audience participation is encouraged, and patrons are invited to dress up in their favorite Rocky Horror attire. Bags of props will be available for $5 in the lobby one hour prior to performances. Outside props will not be permitted, as they may damage the theatre or injure actors and/or audience members.

In keeping with the theatre’s opening night tradition, all tickets not pre-sold at the regular price will go on sale at 6:30pm on Friday, October 18, for a $5 Opening Night Rush.
