July 28, 2016 – Richard O’Brien’s “The Rocky Horror Show” comes to Walla Walla in a live theatrical production by Hypoxik Productions. Four performances over two nights will take place at Gesa Power House Theatre on September 9-10, at 7 p.m. and 10 p.m.

Dr. Frank-N-Furter and his merry band of misfits take you on a strange journey of love, lust, and the quest for ultimate satisfaction in this updated version of the 1975 Broadway musical that inspired the cult film “The Rocky Horror Picture Show”.

One dark and stormy night, Brad and Janet, a newly-engaged couple, set out to begin their journey toward matrimonial bliss when a sudden blowout forces them down a path of domination, illumination, and sensual debauchery that ultimately leaves them searching for more than just help with a flat tire.

A parody tribute to the science fiction and horror B movies of the 1930s through early 1970s, this hilariously dark and foreboding musical invites you to leave your inhibitions at the door, and revel in the strange and absurd. Fans of the film will recognize many of the songs, such as “Science Fiction Double Feature”, “Damn it Janet”, “Time Warp”, “Sweet Transvestite”, “Hot Patootie”, and more.

The production features many local actors, including: Chanel Finnie, Isaiah Stodola, Rande Moss, Daniel Rose, Diana Milton, Reyn Hodgson, Alex Leeper, Topher Murphy, Richele Heilbrun Loney, Gabriela Salazar, Sara Beko, Kassidy Haluska, Katrina M. James, and Romey Drabek.

Audience members are encouraged to dress in costume, bring props (non-food only), to dance, or to sing-along.

Tickets to The Rocky Horror Show ($20-$35 Reserved Seating) are available online at www.phtww.org or through the Gesa Power House Theatre box office (509-529-6500). This show is recommended for ages 18 and up.

An after party is scheduled in the Electric Lounge, upstairs at the theater following the final performance. Admission is an additional $10 and may be purchased with a ticket to any performance or at the door based on availability.
