SYNOPSIS

Phamaly has always encouraged artists to own who they are and how they navigate through the world, and to own it unapologetically. Therefore, we are thrilled to present THE ROCKY HORROR SHOW. This production has been at the forefront of ushering a legacy of groundbreaking counter-culture and revolution by breaking societal norms.

This cult classic follows Brad and Janet who, stuck with a flat tire during a storm, discover Dr. Frank-N-Furter’s mansion. Brad and Janet meet a houseful of wild characters, and through elaborate dances and a rock soundtrack, Frank-N-Furter unveils his latest creation: a muscular man named “Rocky.” Join us on this journey to celebrate, liberate, and appreciate what makes us truly ‘us.’

CONTENT WARNINGS
● Themes centered around sexuality and gender identity. Due to the nature of this play, many suggestive sexual terms are used throughout the show.
● Moments of simulated sexual activity throughout the play.
● Moments of simulated violence (both sexual in nature, as well as physical) throughout the play.
● A simulated ray-gun being fired towards the end of the show. While this is a comical moment, there will be a ray gun onstage.

Ghost Light Winner

Daniel Traylor

Volunteers, crew, and Phamaly staff were asked nominate individuals from the cast who went above and beyond, exhibiting excellent care for the show and a deep respect for everyone working on it. Thank you, Daniel, for making people feel welcomed, valued, and part of something bright.

Upon winning, Daniel shared the following quotes:

“A total work of art is only possible in the context of the whole of society. Everyone will be a necessary co-creator of a social architecture, and so long as anyone cannot participate, the ideal form of democracy has not been reached.” -Joseph Beuys

“For an artist is not a consumer, as our commercials urge us to be. An artist is a nourisher and a creator who knows that during the act of creation there is collaboration. We do not create alone.” -Madeleine L’Engle
