Hard Road Theatre Productions, in association with the Alfresco Art Center in Granite City, is holding auditions for a fall adult production, The Rocky Horror Show. This show is part of the “Hard Rogue Players” series.
The Rocky Horror Show is a musical satire of the science fiction B horror films of the late 1940s – 1960s. Written by Richard O’Brien, the show tells the story of a newly engaged couple who become trapped in a storm and arrive at the home of a mad transvestite scientist, Dr. Frank N. Furter, who is in the midst of unveiling his new creation. The couple are seduced by Frank N. Furter and become involved in his twisted plans. The Rocky Horror Show was adapted into a movie in 1975 and that film has the longest-running theatrical release of any film in history.
