Anoka-Ramsey Community College will launch The Rocky Horror Show musical onto the Coon Rapids Performing Arts Center stage Feb. 10, 11, 16, 17 and 18 at 7:30 pm.

“We had a record number of students audition for this musical, providing the production with a very talented cast,” said Blayn Lemke, the play’s director and Anoka Ramsey Theatre instructor. “When performing The Rocky Horror Show you anticipate audience participation–singing along, speaking with the actors and the audience shouting comments because the show has many avid fans who take the story very personally. Our production is thematically focusing on the consequence of intolerance, greater awareness of differences and the value of acceptance. Please come and dance the Time Warp with us in February!”

The Rocky Horror Picture Show, written by Richard O’Brien, premiered in 1973. The musical is set on a fateful night when Brad and his fiancée, Janet — innocently set out to visit an old professor. Unfortunately for them, this night out is destined to be one they will never forget. A thunderstorm and a flat-tire force them to seek help at the castle of Dr. Frank ’N’ Furter, an alien, transvestite scientist with a manic genius and insatiable libido. Brad, Janet, and Frank’ N’ Furter’s cohorts are swept up into the scientist’s latest experiment. The night’s misadventures will cause Brad and Janet to question everything they’ve known about themselves, each other, love, and lust. A loving homage to the classic B sci-fi film and horror genres with an irresistible rock’n’roll score, The Rocky Horror Show is a hilarious, unforgettably wild ride!
