"We are proud to continue the New Hope tradition of welcoming the beloved visitors from the galaxy of Transylvania to Bucks County Playhouse, and are particularly happy to have Hunter and Lorin back after their fantastic production of Ain't Misbehavin' in August. I remember fondly the midnight showings of the film when a student at NYU, and look forward to seeing the show live on our stage," said Fraser.

"In 1949, Grace Kelly made her stage debut at The Bucks County Playhouse. In 2013, I danced in my underwear and made out with numerous audience members. This year, anything can happen, it's Rocky Horror..." said Kevin Cahoon.

"The audience "shout-outs" are like having another character in the show... terrifying and exciting. This year I look forward to having a big awesome party on stage as I celebrate my birthday Halloween night" said Nick Cearley.

ABOUT BUCKS COUNTY PLAYHOUSE - Bucks County Playhouse, a nonprofit 501(c)3 organization, provides the finest theatrical entertainment for visitors and residents of New Hope, Doylestown, Lambertville and the Delaware Valley. Under the direction of Robyn Goodman and Alexander Fraser, its mission is to present first class professional entertainment and regain the Playhouse's historic place in the national theatrical landscape; and to stimulate, support, inspire and celebrate the performing arts via community programs, partnerships and arts education.

Located between Philadelphia and New York, Bucks County Playhouse opened in 1939 in a converted 1790 gristmill after a group of community activists, led by Broadway orchestrator Don Walker and playwright Moss Hart, rallied to save the building. The Playhouse quickly became one of the country's most famous regional theaters, featuring a roster of American theatrical royalty including Helen Hayes, Kitty Carlisle, Colleen Dewhurst, Shirley Booth, Lillian Gish, Grace Kelly, Robert Redford, Bert Lahr, Walter Matthau, Angela Lansbury, Bernadette Peters, Alan Alda, Tyne Daly, Liza Minnelli and Audra McDonald and remained in continuous operation until December 2010. In 2012, the Playhouse re-opened thanks to the efforts of the Bridge Street Foundation, the nonprofit family foundation of Kevin and Sherri Daugherty, and Broadway producer Jed Bernstein. Terrence McNally's Mothers and Sons, starring Tyne Daly, received its world premiere at the Playhouse in 2013 and opened on Broadway in February 2014, where it was nominated for the Tony Award for Best Play. This returned the Playhouse to its roots as an incubator for Broadway, which included 1951?s The Fourposter starring Jessica Tandy and Hume Cronyn, Neil Simon's first play Come Blow Your Horn, and Barefoot in the Park starring Robert Redford and Elizabeth Ashley. Bucks County Playhouse is located at 70 South Main Street in New Hope, PA.
