The event includes a Rocky Horror costume contest, food trucks, raffles, vendors, prop bags and a night under the stars with your favorite Transylvanians!

This show will sell out, so babies… buy your tickets today.

Men on Boats, mostly a comedy by Jaclyn Backhaus and directed by Rachael Endrizzi

Playing October 21 – 31 • Ten explorers. Four boats. One Grand Canyon. Men On Boats is the true(ish) history of an 1869 expedition, when a one-armed captain and a crew of insane yet loyal volunteers set out to chart the course of the Colorado River. The outlandish crew encounters disaster, conflict and harrowing adventure along the way. Keeping with the tradition of Backhaus’ acclaimed play, the cast is composed entirely of women.

Each student will have the opportunity to choose from pre-made designs or create their own.
