Let’s do the Time Warp… Again!

It's officially ROCKY-tober here at the Rio Theatre! Join us for one of our favourite annual fall traditions, featuring one of the most notorious cult-movie experiences you can possibly have in a darkened theatre - THE ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW. This cult-classic rock musical has been giving absolute pleasure to adoring audiences spaced out on sensations like they’re under sedation for over four decades, and there's absolutely no better time to see and experience this pop-culture landmark than the the way it is meant to be seen – on the big screen, in the dark, and with a raucous Rio Theatre audience who are just as into it as you are. Whether you’re a Virgin or a veteran, you’ll have a blast!

You know what's going to make these showings even more awesome?!?! Vancouver's fabulous Geekenders will be on-hand to host, guiding all you Virgins (and veterans!) through the do's-and-don'ts of this monumentally experiential show, and perform in the shadowcast you've been waiting for.

As always, costumes and audience participation are highly encouraged! (In other words: Prizes! Here's your chance to go all out and let your freak flag fly, people.) The ticket price includes a fun prop bag, too.

Your own props are also, of course, very welcome, but please – whatever you do – DO NOT BRING RICE!
