Richard O’Brien’s The Rocky Horror Show

Books, lyrics and music by Richard O’Brien

The ultimate cult musical experience, The Rocky Horror Show is a wild, hilarious ride packed with rock’n’roll, sci-fi thrills, outrageous characters, and audience-fueled fun. When wholesome sweethearts Brad and Janet seek shelter from a storm in the eerie castle of Dr. Frank-N-Furter, they are swept into a world of unforgettable music, over-the-top antics, and deliciously campy chaos. Fresh from its acclaimed 50th-anniversary Broadway revival, which earned nine Tony Award nominations, The Rocky Horror Show remains the most outrageous party in town!

This event allows the first year students and their families to inform themselves on the structure of their sophomore year of PPP. Which is arguably the most intense year for the program. There will be a brief social hour with coffee, bagels, etc., and our director will give a short welcome speech. The second segment will include an alumni panel as well as an upperclassmen panel. These are usually very well-recieved as they give direct insight to students and parents as to what can be expected during the sophomore year. Finally, we will ask 3 different faculty members to give mock lectures on their respective fields of study. All in all, this event is extremely successful in fostering relationship between faculty, staff, students, and parents, as well as a great way to ease the freshmen into the program.
