Let’s do the Time Warp… Again!
Join us for one of the most notorious cult-movie experiences you can possibly have in a darkened theatre! For over four decades, THE ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW has been giving absolute pleasure to adoring audiences spaced out on sensations like they’re under sedation. See it the way it was meant to be seen – on the big screen, in the dark, and with a raucous Rio audience who are just as into it as you are. Whether you’re a Virgin or a veteran, you’ll have a blast! (Sweet Transvestites of all ages welcome in the balcony!)
You know what’s going to make our screenings even more awesome?!?! They are being hosted by members of Vancouver’s fabulous Geekenders, who will also be on-hand to guide all the Virgins (and veterans!) through all the do’s-and-don’ts of this experiential show. (And for those of you who want the full meal deal, the Geekenders will be shadowcasting our screening on Saturday, October 28!)
As always, costumes and audience participation are highly encouraged! (In other words: Prizes! Here’s your chance to go all out and let your freak flag fly, people.) The ticket price includes a fun prop bag, too. Your own props are also very welcome, but please – whatever you do – DO NOT BRING RICE!!
*During Halloween season, our screenings for THE ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW are very busy – and regularly sell out! We definitely encourage purchasing your tickets in advance and coming e-a-r-l-y to get great seats. Start times are all subject to change according to crowd size!
*Minors permitted (no alcohol allowed) in the balcony for all screenings! (If you are a minor, or there are minors in your party, please purchase the correct ticket(s) to ensure your balcony seating.) You must be 19+ w/ID for main floor seating and bar service.
**Sorry, Rio Theatre Groupons and passes are not accepted for THE ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW screenings.
