The Rocky Horror Picture Show
The Rocky Horror Picture Show 50th Anniversary at Bingen Theater
Let’s Do the Time Warp… Again!
We hear you, creatures of the night — you’re mourning the absence of our annual live Rocky Horror Show. But our actors need a break. (Trust us, fishnets aren’t as breathable as they look.)
But! Because it's the 50th Anniversary of The Rocky Horror Picture Show, we’re trading the stage for the silver screen! Join us for two nights only as we celebrate the cult classic that started it all — the outrageous, glitter-soaked, time-warping movie version.
Costumes are highly encouraged So fish out the fishnets and sharpen those stilettos for the rockiest ride of your life! Don’t dream it — be it.
Audience Callbacks: Throughout the film, audience members shout out witty and often risqué responses to the dialogue on screen.
Prop Use: Audience members often bring various props to the screening, such as playing cards, toilet paper, and rubber gloves. These props are used at specific moments during the film to mimic actions on screen or enhance certain scenes. We kindly ask that you leave food props at home to discourage small furry creatures of the night from entering our theater.
Tickets are $17 if you buy in advance, but they'll be $20 at the door! Get 'em now!
