Author: Richard O'Brien
2025 Calgary Fringe Theatre Festival
In this cult classic, sweethearts Brad and Janet, stuck with a flat tire during a storm, discover the eerie mansion of Dr. Frank-N-Furter. As their innocence is lost, Brad and Janet meet a houseful of wild characters, including a rocking biker and a creepy butler. Through elaborate dances and rock songs, Frank-N-Furter unveils his latest creation: a muscle man named "Rocky." Now imagine doing a 9 person cast show... with 3 performers!!!
