“Let’s do the Time Warp again!” On a dark and stormy night Brad and Janet, our innocent and naïve hero’s stumble upon Frank N Furters nefarious castle after their car mysteriously breaks down. Thus begins their hilarious and harrowing escapade with the mad transvestite scientist, his hunchbacked assistant Riff Raff and the bizarre Transylvanian phantoms. Rocky Horror is a camp, tongue in cheek spoof on everything from Frankenstein to Flash Gordon, with a naughty little twist. In this hilarious satire of Space Invaders the space aliens aren’t here to destroy the earth, but to show us the way to absolute pleasure. The Rocky Horror Show is the original Musical Comedy by Richard O’Brien that the cult classic movie was based on, with all of your favorite songs and characters.

Don, a failing junk dealer, realizes he has unwittingly been suckered into selling a rare coin to a wealthy customer for a pittance. He and Bob, his young assistant, set out to seek revenge by stealing the man's priceless coin collection in the name of “good business”. When Teach, an experienced petty thief, catches wind of the deal, he tries to convince Don to cut Bob out and cut him in setting up a situation that explores and ultimately explodes the fine line between loyalty and greed. American Buffalo is a no holds barred, hard edged, visceral play that exposes the true worth of friendship in business. In Mamet’s hands, the strong, uncompromising language of the street takes on a poetic characteristic revealing in no uncertain terms the true nature of these three misanthropes. This is a raw and uncompromising play in language and content for adults.
