Pittsfield, MA–“Let’s do The Time Warp again!” On Saturday, October 28 at The Colonial Theatre, Berkshire Theatre Group (BTG) and Kate Maguire (Artistic Director, CEO) are thrilled to present The Rocky Horror Picture Show, Hosted by Drag Queen Nancy Nogood, the screamingly funny, sinfully twisted salute to sci-fi, horror, B-movies, and rock music, all rolled into one deliciously decadent morsel.
In this cult film to end all cult films, sweethearts Brad and Janet, stuck with a flat tire during a downpour, discover the eerie mansion of Dr. Frank-N-Furter, a transvestite scientist. As their innocence is lost, Brad and Janet meet a houseful of wild characters, including a rocking biker and the creepy butler Riff-Raff. Through elaborate dance numbers and rock songs, Frank-N-Furter unveils his latest creation: a man named “Rocky.”
The Rocky Horror Picture Show is renowned for its audience participation roles at different times and scenes during the film. There will be Colonial Theatre appropriate props available for purchase online or at the venue the night of the show ($8 in-advance, $11 at the door).
