Let's do the Time Warp again this spring at ECP! The Rocky Horror Show is a cult classic that follows newlyweds Brad and Janet as they come across the spooky mansion of Dr. Frank-N-Furter. The eccentricities of Frank-N-Furter and his crew are revealed through a variety of songs as the doctor unveils his newest creation: a muscular, blonde creature named Rocky. Can the couple escape with their innocence intact? Find out more this spring!
