This campy classic has a cult following that spans four decades and features rock and roll classics such as “Sweet Transvestite,” “Hot Patootie,” and “Time Warp.”
Rocky for Equality is nonprofit central Maine theater company founded in 2011. It stages an annual production of the Rocky Horror Show as a way of opening discussion and advocating for social change. This year, Rocky for Equality is partnering with CLT, in what they’re calling “CLT After Hours,” to bring their production to the CLT stage. This production is not part of CLT’s annual season. Show dates are Oct. 27-29 and tickets will be available Sept. 1 at rockyforequality.com.
