A shadowcast is when a full cast of performers recreate a movie as it is playing on the screen behind them, with an emphasis on audience interaction including call backs and props! Dressing up in your Transylvanian best is strongly encouraged - there will be a prize for the best costume!
In this cult classic, sweethearts Brad (Barry Bostwick) and Janet (Susan Sarandon), stuck with a flat tire during a storm, discover the eerie mansion of Dr. Frank-N-Furter (Tim Curry), a transvestite scientist. As their innocence is lost, Brad and Janet meet a houseful of wild characters, including a rocking biker (Meat Loaf) and a creepy butler (Richard O'Brien). Through elaborate dances and rock songs, Frank-N-Furter unveils his latest creation: a muscular man named "Rocky."
The event is open to all those 18+ and the event is Bring Your Own Bottle.
