On June 16, 1973, director Jim Sharman debuted a musical that would warp time, space, and sweet transvestites for ever… THE ROCKY HORROR SHOW. Written for the stage by Richard O’Brien (who would later play Riff Raff in the sensational cult-movie adaptation, THE ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW), the original live stage version of THE ROCKY HORROR SHOW is returning to the Rio Theatre following a sold out run in October.

Join Vancouver troupe the Geekenders for two more chances to do the Time Warp with their hit production on December 10 and December 11. This deliberately kitschy, rock ‘n’ roll, gothic sci-fi parody will be more fun than you’ve ever seen it when it’s performed live, on stage, by Vancouver’s favourite nerdlesque troupe.
