“One of the most mutated, time-warped phenomena in show business.” — The New York Times

 
 

Let’s do the time warp again!

Due to the success of our one-night workshop in November, Little Theatre of Manchester is bringing back the ASL-infused production of Richard O'Brien's "The Rocky Horror Show" in collaboration with Connecticut Deaf Theatre. 

Sweethearts Brad and Janet, stuck with a flat tire during a storm, discover the eerie mansion of Dr. Frank-N-Furter. As their innocence is lost, Brad and Janet meet a houseful of wild characters, including a rocking biker and a creepy butler. Through elaborate dances and rock songs, Frank-N-Furter unveils his latest creation: a muscular man named “Rocky.” And this deliberately kitschy rock ‘n’ roll sci-fi gothic musical is more accessible than ever.

  • Everything will be signed and voiced onstage together — there's not only sign language onstage nor is it just the voiced actors onstage with interpreters supporting them.

    The signing will occur onstage with the actors. This is different from a "shadow cast" where the voice is primary and the ASL interpreter follows the action onstage interpreting for the voice. This show contains full accessibility onstage at all times. 

  • Yes! This show is all about inclusivity and our co-directing team have worked together to ensure full access at all times for our Deaf and hard of hearing audience members. 

  • Yes! Everything is sung/spoken in English as well as signed. This is a unique experience that EVERYONE can appreciate and learn from. 

  • Yes! We do ask that our audience limits the responses to those that will be provided the night of, as we have integrated an accessible format for the entire audience to be included.

  • No, we've made an effort to make sure all seats are accessible; however, if you do not need visual proximity in order to understand the show, we ask that you do not sit in the first few rows to allow for others that may.
