The Theater Company (TTC) can't stand the "antici...pation" anymore! Richard O'Brien's THE ROCKY HORROR SHOW opens next week! This is TTC's second time producing this Sci-fi cult hit. Due to popular demand, it is being staged again after several years of their patrons begging for a revival. But don't expect the same production as last time, "Rocky can be done in many different ways," notes Producing Artistic Director David Zimmerman, "and we are bringing a fresh design and look to the show instead of copying the movie or our past production. Director Billy Mitchell has shown in the past that he can relate to an audience and create something different and interesting all at the same time, so I am confident we will not only repeat our success, but sell out this production!"

Audience participation is a must for this live production and Goody Bags will be on sale. Everyone is encouraged to come in their favorite ROCKY HORROR costume and be ready to interact with the cast. The bulk of the performances will be 8pm shows, but on Saturday nights they've added a second 11pm performance specifically for an adults-only crowd.

The cast of THE ROCKY HORROR SHOW is a nice mix of TTC regulars and fresh faces including: Eddie Capuano, Jenny Fersch, Laura Fraenkel, Bill Graber, Michael Livingston, Muslimah Mays, Kara Moulter, Liza Poor, Daniel Rostas, Kate Scott, Kelly Ann Wadler, Brian Waite, Branan Whitehead and Laura Yoder, with Billy Mitchell not only directing but leading the ensemble as Dr. Frank-N-Futer himself.

The show will be directed by Billy Mitchell, choreographed by Robert Gonzales Jr., and music directed by Tom Berger.  Book, music, and lyrics are by Richard O'Brien.

The show runs February 10-26 at Monroe TheatreSpace (not TTC's Studio - C-413) 2nd Floor, Monroe Center for the Arts, 720 Monroe, St., Hoboken, NJ.  Free parking is available behind the building.  Tickets are $25 for adults, $20 for students & seniors.  Tickets can be purchased at the door or at www.brownpapertickets.com/event/144754. For full production information including actors' bios and headshots, please visit www.thetheatercompany.org/Rocky.html
