The Rocky Horror Picture Show, the longest-running theatrical release in film history, will be celebrating its 49th anniversary and embarking on three national tours stopping in over 50 cities beginning, Saturday, September 28th through October 31st, 2024. This year, original cast members, Barry Bostwick, the iconic Brad Majors, Nell Campbell the effervescent Columbia and Patricia Quinn, the incomparable Magenta, who have thrilled generations of fans will be touring the US and Canada simultaneously. Audiences in each city will have an opportunity to meet a star from the movie, view the traveling museum which includes artifacts and costumes from the film; participate in a costume contest judged by one of these stars and engage in a performance with the local Shadow Cast who will be performing scenes from the movie ‘live’ while the full un-edited film is shown.
The Rocky Horror Picture Show is the iconic little movie that conquered Hollywood. The hit movie stars Tim Curry as the devious and fabulous Frank-N-Furter, Meatloaf, Barry Bostwick and Susan Sarandon as everybody's favorite nerdy couple – Brad and Janet, Patricia Quinn as Magenta – and the film's creator Richard O'Brien as Riff Raff. The film has become one of the longest showing movies in the world.
Limited VIP tickets are available and include a meet and greet with Bostwick and Quinn. Nothing beats a Rocky Horror screening where you can jump up and dance to the time warp in this live, interactive experience. It's a one of a kind "happening". Come up to the lab and see what's on the slab! The Rocky Horror Picture Show’s National Tour is produced by Scott Stander and The Stander Group.

Kafkaesque!, a world premiere musical comedy featuring book, music and lyrics by James Harvey (Prime Day, The Bald Faced Truth, The Crack in the Ceiling) and directed by Ashley Brooke Monroe (Hamilton national tour, Life of Pi; The New Group: All of Me). The production will play October 18-November 11, 2024 at 154 Christopher (formerly the New Ohio Theatre). Opening night is Monday, October 21.
Tickets are available now at Ovation Tix.
James Harvey has earned a following in experimental theatre with his irreverent takes on cultural moments. He’s lampooned everything from Amazon to TikTok, to Furries, earning recognition from the Edinburgh and U.S. Fringe Festivals, the New York Musical Theatre Festival, and the New York International Fringe Festival, where his play The Crack in the Ceiling received the award for Best Musical. Harvey backs up his sardonic wit with bona fide musical talent, and has accompanied and music directed for Alan Cumming, Bowen Yang, and Larry Owens, amongst others.
Franz Kafka may never have intended for his name to become an adjective, but nevertheless, Kafkaesque! celebrates his body of work by layering predicaments from his stories onto one contemporary American family. The result is horrifying bodily transformations, artistic eating disorders, and cancel culture run amok, all under the dark umbrella and relentless grind of late-stage capitalism. This hilarious and genre-bending musical was one of the hits of the 2023 New York Theater Festival.

Queer History is American History and the tales of safe places where all can feel seen is often not told, but thanks to Marc Saltarelli- this story is!
A beacon of dancing and freedom for gay men looking for identity in a world that saw them as outcasts, Studio One was a haven and the blossoming center of nightlife in West Hollywood. From merging the gay community and Hollywood elites like Bette Davis and Jimmy Stewart to being at the forefront of the LBGTQ+ rights movement and the fight against the AIDS crisis, the venue was more than just a disco, it was a movement.
In STUDIO ONE FOREVER, Marc Saltarelli and narrators Bruce Vilanch and David Del Valle dive into the history of the historic venue, offering a testament to an era and immortalizing the club's legacy for future generations. The documentary features candid, modern-day interviews with Chita Rivera, Sam Harris, Felipe Rose, Charlo Crossley, Melissa Rivers, Roslyn Kind, Lance Bass, Thelma Houston along with former bartenders and patrons who recount their experiences at Studio One, and what the iconic club stood for.
He is here to tell us all about it!
