In this cult classic, sweethearts Brad and Janet, stuck with a flat tire during a storm, discover the eerie mansion of Dr. Frank-N-Furter, a transvestite scientist. As their innocence is lost, Brad and Janet meet a houseful of wild characters, including a rocking biker and a creepy butler. Through elaborate dances and rock songs, Frank-N-Furter unveils his latest creation: a muscular man named "Rocky." We will talk about this show, how it came to exist, and what genres of musical theatre and theatre make up this romping piece. Phil Simmons is the Director and a professor of Musical Theater at Eastern Michigan University, and a card-carrying member of the Actors Equity Association. He has lectured and taught master classes in dance across the United States. Phil’s passion is teaching the next generation of actors, singers, and dancers to be happy, thriving, career-long performers.
