Dig out your fishnet stockings, dust off your stilettos and rediscover Richard O'Brien's cult classic "The Rocky Horror Show!"
The Roxy Regional Theatre returns to the "Time Warp" of the sci-fi musical for the 11th year in an annual tradition from Oct. 12 through Oct. 28.
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.
