‘Rocky Horror Picture Show’ will feature shadow cast

Blank Conversations Theatre Company of Las Cruces is presenting a shadow cast comprised of local performers that will perform live with the showing of the cult classic “Rocky Horror Picture Show” at 9 p.m. Friday and Saturday, April 15-16, at Rio Grande Theatre, 211 N. Main St., the City of Las Cruces said in a news release.

Tickets are $15 and are available online at RioGrandeTheatre.org or at the door the nights of the show. Ticket includes a prop bag filled with interactive goodies. There will be a super-secret pre-show performance beginning at 8:30 p.m. Doors will open each night at 8 p.m.

In the movie (and as portrayed by the live shadow cast): “On a wild and rain-swept late November evening, somewhere on an empty stretch of road outside Denton, Ohio, boringly innocent young pair Brad Majors, portrayed in the film by Barry Bostwick, and his fiancé, Janet Weiss, played by Susan Sarandon, find themselves stranded on their way to visit an ex-tutor. The couple, in need of a telephone, inadvertently unearth the cross-dressing Dr. Frank-N-Furter, played by Tim Curry's, (and his) out-of-this-world lair, just in time to partake in the mad scientist’s proud unveiling of his latest creation: the flaxen-haired Rocky Horror, played by Peter Hinwood.

“But, little by little, as the effervescent transgressive force gobbles up whole the unsuspecting visitors of the night, Brad and Janet slowly begin to give themselves over to absolute pleasure, while an idolized Rocky roams free in the mansion. What diabolic plan does Frank-N-Furter and his collection of misfits have in store for the young couple?”
