#1 Jobsite Theater’s Production of The Rocky Horror Picture Show at The Straz
The antici… pation is over for Jobsite’s spin on the OG kitschy, rock ‘n’ roll, sci-fi, gothic musical. Jobsite Theater’s production of The Rocky Horror Picture Show opens at The Straz this weekend! Straightlaced Brad Majors and Janet Weiss discover the eerie mansion of Dr. Frank-N-Furter as they look for a phone to call for help with a flat tire. As their innocence (and more) is stripped away, they encounter a castle-full of wild characters while the not-so-good Dr. and his motley crew unveil his latest creation — a Charles Atlas-inspired beefcake named Rocky. Give yourself over to absolute pleasure at this iconic landmark of musical theater – we promise, it’s ASTOUNDING. Live production. Tickets start at $24.50. Runs through August 4th.
