The University of West Florida Department of Theatre presents the “Rocky Horror Picture Show with Shadow Cast.”

Performances will be held November 18 at 8 p.m. and 11:59 p.m. Both performances will take place in the Mainstage Theatre of the Center for Fine and Performing Arts, Building 82, on the Pensacola Campus.

It won’t be a typical movie-going experience – a live “shadow cast” of performers will take the stage with the film playing behind them. The audience is also an active part of the show with chants, props, dances and more!

The Rocky Horror Picture Show has such an enduring legacy because it is fun, noisy and rude. It only exists today because of the worldwide dedicated fan base and incredible “shadow casts.” Three generations of partygoers have passed it down from one to another.”

General admission ticket prices are $15 per person. Show Kits/Prop Bags can be purchased online for $5. Tickets can be purchased at the CFPA Box Office, Building 82, 850.857.6285 or online at uwf.edu/tickets. 18+ Adult Audiences Only.
