(RAHWAY, NJ) -- Let's do the Time Warp again! Come see The Rocky Horror Picture Show – A Live Movie Experience with the Cosmic Light Cabaret Shadowcast on Friday, January 24, 2025 at the Union County Performing Arts Center (UCPAC). This will be an interactive and fun night with audience call-backs, props, and more so you can join in all the fun. Live performers will act out the film in front of the screen for an immersive experience like none other. Costumes are welcomed, so don’t dream it – be it! Showtime is 8:00pm.
This 1975 musical comedy/horror film stars Tim Curry as Dr. Frank N. Furter, Susan Sarandon as Janet, and Barry Bostwick as Brad. Newly engaged couple Brad and Janet break down in the rain and head to a nearby castle for help. Inside they meet Dr. Frank N. Furter, a sweet transvestite from Transylvania, and their lives will never be the same. Now in its 49th year in theaters, the film, which was originally panned, is a cult classic that, in 2005, was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as being “culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant.”
Tickets are $18 and available for purchase online. Union County Performing Arts Center (UCPAC) is located at 1601 Irving Street in Rahway, New Jersey. Please note: This showing of The Rocky Horror Picture Show will be a digital presentation.
