Special Theatrical Event
Richard O’Brien’s THE ROCKY HORROR SHOW
Presented with Connecticut Deaf Theatre
May 8-10 at 7pm
Following the success of a one-night workshop in November 2024, Little Theatre of Manchester brings back the American Sign Language-infused production of Richard O’Brien’s The Rocky Horror Show in collaboration with Connecticut Deaf Theatre.
Sweethearts Brad and Janet, stuck with a flat tire during a storm, discover the eerie mansion of Dr. Frank-N-Furter. As their innocence is lost, Brad and Janet meet a houseful of wild characters, including a rocking biker and a creepy butler. Through elaborate dances and rock songs, Frank-N-Furter unveils his latest creation: a muscular man named “Rocky.” And this deliberately kitschy rock ‘n’ roll sci-fi gothic musical is more accessible than ever where audiences can see and hear every lyric as they do the time warp again!
Tickets for the May Jukebox Series concerts and the three-night engagement of THE ROCKY HORROR SHOW are on sale now at CheneyHall.org or by calling (860) 647-9824. Cheney Hall is located at 177 Hartford Road in Manchester, CT. There is plentiful free parking in lots adjacent to the theatre.
