Wyandotte Jaycees, Community Theatre Team for 'The Rocky Horror Show'

The Wyandotte Jaycees and Wyandotte Community Theatre have teamed to bring a live performance of Richard O’Brien’s The “Rocky Horror Show” on October 24th, 25th and 31st at11:50pm and October 30th at 8:00 pm at the James R. DeSana Downriver Center for Arts and Culture.

The Wyandotte Jaycees tries to partner up with local theater groups during this time of year to help promote their haunted house (www.wyandottejaycees.org/hh) and local community theatre groups. This year, the partnership was with Wyandotte Community Theatre as their home was a perfect fit for a live performance of The Rocky Horror Show. The Rocky Horror Show is a musical with music, lyrics and a book by Richard O’Brien.

A humorous tribute to the science fiction and horror B movies of the late 1940s through to the early 1970s, the musical tells the story of a newly engaged couple getting caught in a storm and coming to the home of a mad transvestite scientist unveiling his new creation, a muscle man named Rocky Horror. This year marks the 40th anniversary of the actual performance in London, England.

“This is one great cast with great enthusiasm!” said Jon Dehring, Co-Producer and Wyandotte Jaycee Chairperson. “Everyone has worked really hard and planned everything perfectly for this play. This will definitely be a night out that they will never forget.”

This fundraiser was brought together by a collaborative effort between the two organizations to promote the arts in the Wyandotte and Downriver area and raise funds for a charitable organization Chive Charities ( https://chivecharities.org/ ). General Admission tickets are still available and the cost is $25 per person. Tickets can be purchased online or in person at the James R. DeSana Downriver Center for Arts and Culture on 81 Chestnut Street in Wyandotte. For more information, please contact our Rocky Hotline at 734-931-6105 orwww.rockyinthedotte.com.
