‘Rocky Horror Show’ returning for 11th year to Roxy Regional Theatre in Clarksville

CLARKSVILLE, TN – Dig out your fishnet stockings, dust off your stilettos and “Rediscover the Fantasy” of Richard O’Brien’s cult classic The Rocky Horror Show! Prepare to dance the “Time Warp” like never before with that sweet transvestite and his motley crew, as they return for the eleventh year in an annual tradition at the Roxy Regional Theatre, on Thursday, Oct. 12, at 7 p.m.

Bradley Oosterink and Kayla Brandt 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 Travis Ulrich.

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 NYC-based German-American actor and singer Leigh Martha Klinger and choreographed by Emily Ruck, with music direction by NYC-based musician and performer Allison Kelly, The Rocky Horror Show also features Alex Vanburen as Riff Raff, Ashley Birnbaum as Magenta, Faith Konty as Columbia, Ansley Arthur as Eddie and Dr. Scott, and Matthew Hawkins as Rocky.  This year, the role of the Narrator will be played by David Graham and a rotating cast of special guests, including Kathy Watts (Oct. 14), Kate Gauf (Oct. 20), and Kyle King and Tiffany Hill from the Q Morning Crew on Q108 (Oct. 28 at 7 p.m.).

This production is recommended for mature audiences only, due to language and content. 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.

Performances run Oct. 12-28 on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays at 7 p.m., with a special midnight performance on Saturday, Oct. 28.  In keeping with the theatre’s pay-what-you-can opening night tradition, all tickets not pre-sold at the regular price will go on sale at 6:30 p.m. on Thursday, Oct. 12, for a $5 minimum donation.
