Start warming up those vocal chords and dust off your fishnet stockings because the "Rocky Horror Picture Show" is celebrating its 50th anniversary with a bang. The Lewisville Grand Theater announced they're rolling out the red carpet for a special screening of the film on October 24 at 8 p.m., and yes, before you ask, audience participation is a resounding "yes!" According to a recent announcement by the City of Lewisville, fans can look forward to a night filled with the classic mix of rock 'n' roll, science fiction, and horror satire that has kept this film a midnight sensation for decades.
Tickets for this campy extravaganza are going for $15 a pop with reserved seating, and you can snag yours on the theater's website. If you're in the mood for a more immersive experience, no props, no problem—the Grand is offering prop kits for $10 each, available for collection on the night of the event. Just remember, to keep the theater clean and safe, items like rice, toast, and hot dogs – as well as open flames – are a no-go inside the venue.
Now, let's talk about the garb. Costumes aren't just welcome; they're highly encouraged. So, it's the perfect excuse to slip into something a little more...extravagant. After all, who doesn't want to channel their inner Dr. Frank N. Furter for a night? Keep in mind, the film's R-rating still stands, and the Lone Star State's laws are pretty clear—no one under 18 is getting in, even with an adult in tow.
The event promises to honor the strange journey the film takes its audience on—echoing the words of the film's unforgettable opening. The Grand, located at 100 N. Charles Street is not just playing host to this cinematic milestone, but also offers an array of cultural pursuits. It has become a hub for regional and national performances, art exhibits, and classes, truly embodying the "Identity, Place, and Communications" Big Moves of the Lewisville 2025 vision plan.
