The Rocky Horror Picture Show at the Weinberg Center for the Arts July 14th

Frederick, Md. --- Fans of “The Rocky Horror Picture Show” need to mark their calendars for Saturday, July 14th as the cult classic film comes to The Weinberg Center for the Arts. In true Rocky Horror style, the evening includes live music, a costume contest, and free make-up provided by The Temple; A Paul Mitchell Partner School. The music, by local band Still Ill, starts at 10 p.m., the costume contest at 11:45 p.m., and the movie at midnight. Tickets are $6 for adults, $4 for students and seniors.

The story concerns the misadventures of Brad Majors (Barry Bostwick) and Janet Weiss (Susan Sarandon) inside a strange mansion that they come across on a rainy night. Greeting them at the door is a ghoulish butler named Riff Raff (Richard O'Brien), who introduces them to a bizarre collection of partygoers dressed in outfits from some sort of interplanetary thrift shop. The host of this gathering is a transvestite clad in lingerie, Dr. Frank N. Furter (Tim Curry), a mad scientist who claims to be from another planet. With assistants Columbia (Nell Campbell) and Magenta (Patricia Quinn) looking on, Frank unveils his latest creation — a figure wrapped in gauze and submerged in a tank full of liquid. Just when Brad and Janet think things couldn't get any stranger, a biker (Meat Loaf) bursts onto the scene to reclaim Columbia, his ex-girlfriend. When Frank kills the biker, it's clear that Brad and Janet will be guests for the night, and that they may be next on Frank's list — whether for murder or carnal delights is uncertain. And just what is that they're eating for dinner, anyway?

The event is sponsored by Octavo Designs, Enforme Interactive, Inc. and The Temple. The movie is rated R.
