������’s School of Theatre and Dance continues its 2012-2013 production season with Richard O’Brien’s The Rocky Horror Show, Nov. 2 -11, in ������’s E. Turner Stump Theatre at the Music and Speech Center on 1325 Theatre Dr. in Kent.

Daniel Raymond Nadon, associate professor of theatre at ������ at Trumbull, will direct this production of the cult-classic show. The interactive rock musical follows innocent couple Brad and Janet as they encounter the mad transvestite scientist, Dr. Frank N. Furter, and his new creation, Rocky Horror. The Rocky Horror Show is intended for mature audiences.

“The Rocky Horror Show is pure fun,” Nadon says. “Audiences can expect a young energetic cast, a rock-concert vibe, edgy choreography, and a sexy, steampunk revisioning of this classic tale for a new generation of fans.”

Senior theatre studies major Liz Casper will play the role of Janet, and senior theatre studies major Jace Craft will star opposite Casper as Brad. Dr. Frank N. Furter will be played by senior theatre studies major Jayson Kolbicz.

Students are also leading some technical aspects of the show, with senior theatre studies majors Carly Shiner and Brian Chismardesigning light and sound, respectively.
