ROLES AVAILABLE:

All roles open. Looking for a fierce, diverse cast of singers, dancers, misfits, and mad scientists. Strong ensemble needed.

Iconic roles include:

• Frank N. Furter – A flamboyant, charismatic, and “sweet transvestite” mad scientist from the planet Transsexual in the galaxy of Transylvania.

• Brad Majors – A clean-cut, straight-laced all-American guy—very proper, very confused.

• Janet Weiss – Brad’s naïve and demure fiancée, on the verge of a major awakening.

• Riff Raff – Frank’s creepy and hunchbacked servant; secretly plotting a return to Transsexual.

• Magenta – Frank’s maid; eerie, sensual, and strangely wise—Riff Raff’s sister and co-conspirator.

• Columbia – A fast-talking, tap-dancing groupie with a broken heart and glitter in her veins.

• Rocky – Frank’s artificially created muscle man, golden and gorgeous but intellectually simple.

• Eddie – A rock-n-roll-loving biker with a saxophone and a short shelf life.

• Dr. Scott – A wheelchair-bound, German-accented science teacher and government investigator.

• The Narrator – A dry, bemused storyteller who attempts to bring order to the chaos.

• Transylvanians – A ensemble of dancers/singers who populate Frank’s castle; mysterious, otherworldly, and ever-present.
