Hickory – Reserved seating tickets are fast disappearing for the Hickory Community Theatre’s annual screening of the cult classic move, The Rocky Horror Picture Show, which takes place at Midnight on Saturday, October 29th.

The castle or country home is occupied by strangers in elaborate costumes celebrating an annual convention. They discover the head of the house is Dr. Frank N. Furter, an apparently mad scientist who actually is an alien transvestite from the planet Transsexual in the galaxy of Transylvania, who creates a living muscle man named Rocky in his laboratory.
The film screening is an audience participation event and “props” are provided by the Theatre.
