Hot on the heels of a successful fall production of The Laramie Project, the Drexel Players present The Rocky Horror Show this winter. Sweethearts Brad and Janet are lost once again and before they can make it back home they'll make one last stop at the Mandell Theater. It's time to fish out those fishnets, cinch up your corset and sharpen those stilettos for the rockiest ride of your life.

The performances will be held in the Mandell Theater, 33rd & Chestnut Sts., Drexel University. The performances take place, Thursdays, February 22nd and March 1st at 8PM, Fridays, February 23rd and March 2nd at midnight, and Saturdays, February 24th and March 3rd at 8PM.

The world famous musical will have all the rock-n-roll fanfare associated with this performance since it debuted in London in 1973. And true to Richard O'Brien's original script, the performance will be awash in the science fiction and fantasy that made it a global hit. Make sure you don't get lost; Frank-N-Furter will be right around the corner.

The Drexel Players are part of the Department of Performing Arts and the Antoinette Westphal College of Media Arts & Design. First time Drexel Director Brandon McShaffrey also choreographed the entire performance. During each night participation bags will be on sale for the audience to use during the performance. Get ready for a night of fun, frolic and frivolity; this is the boldest bash of all!

The performance will cost $5 for all students and $10 for the general public. Group rate tickets are available for groups of ten or more people. Please email Bill Pollock for more information regarding the group rate at bill.pollock@drexel.edu. For more information, including ticket reservations, call 215-895-ARTS (2787).
