"Don't dream it, be it!"

Join Iron Crow Theatre for the quintessential queer theatrical experience and what is now Baltimore's award-winning and favorite tradition in this cult classic film turned live stage musical, The Rocky Horror Show! Sweethearts Brad and Janet, stuck with a flat tire during a storm, seek shelter at a mysterious old castle on a dark and stormy night, where they encounter transvestite scientist 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. Complete with call-outs, cascading toilet paper, and an array of other audience participation props, this deliberately kitschy rock 'n' roll sci-fi gothic thriller is more fun than ever! 

The Rocky Horror Show is Iron Crow Theatre's Special Yearly Fundraiser. All proceeds from The Rocky Horror Show go directly to Baltimore's Moveable Feast and to the Iron Crow Theatre Sustainability Fund increasing artist stipends, production quality, and ensuring that Iron Crow Theatre remains a vibrant and sustainable theatre in Baltimore City.

CRITICAL ACCLAIM

"I can confidently say, without hesitation, that I have never had as much fun seeing this material as I did seeing Iron Crow Theatre’s version." - DC Metro Theatre Arts

"... a bizarrely beautiful and beautifully bizarre evening with some of the most well-loved spooky scenes from the musical theatre canon ... definitely a lot of fun that you won’t want to miss." - TheatreBloom

"Elias’ work is clever and swift. To reveal more would ruin the many surprises that are in store. It’s familiar enough that fans will have a ball. And for the newbies, don’t worry. It won’t hurt a bit … unless you’re in to that sort of thing." - DC Metro Theatre Arts
