Thank you to LFC and to everyone who waited in line for yet another legendary weekend of Rocky Horror! We can't think of any better way to honor the late great Tim Curry than spending a weekend sweaty, covered in glitter, wearing fishnets and singing along with our favorite Rocky Horror songs with everyone!

Remember folks, don't dream it, be it!
