PLOT SUMMARY:
A story of creation, love, hate,
adventure (and sex), The Rocky
Horror Show begins in Denton, Ohio, with the engagement of Brad
Majors and Janet Weiss. As they travel through a rainstorm to see "the
man who began it," they stumble upon the castle of Dr. Frank-N-Furter.
Upon taking refuge inside, the doctor's odd servants (Magenta and
Riff-Raff) usher them into the lab for a party celebrating the
unveiling of Frank's newest creation: the perfect man, Rocky. Over the
course of the night, Frank seduces the unsuspecting couple, Janet gets
in touch with a new side of herself, and with the arrival of Dr.
Everett Scott, the guests discover that Frank is actually from another
place entirely - the planet Transsexual in the galaxy Transylvania, to
be specific! With the clock ticking, the servants rebel and Janet and
Brad are thrown to the mercy of the aliens... What will happen to these
two lovebirds? You'll have to do the Time Warp to find out! Visit www.conejoplayers.org for
more details.
