Rocky Horror Picture Show with Shadow Cast PRIDE
2026-06-27 20:00 - 23:00 | Potomac Playmakers Performing Arts Center, 17303 W Washington St., Hagerstown, Maryland, 21740
Rocky Horror PPP, in conjunction with the Potomac Playmakers, will be hosting the Rocky Horror Pride Show on Saturday, June 27th! Frank ‘N’ Furter and his motley crew will be doing the time warp once again in this shadow cast performance alongside the cult classic film, Rocky Horror Picture Show. Complete with sass from the audience, cascading toilet paper, and an array of other audience participation props, this kitschy sci fi gothic is more fun than ever.
This show will be much more interactive than the standard Potomac Playmakers production! Doors open at 7:30pm and audience members are encouraged to arrive early and enjoy all of the night’s festivities, including but not limited to games with the cast, and more! The first three rows of the theater are considered the “consent zone.” All patrons seated there during this performance give our actors permission to thrill, chill, and fulfill you – though you are still expected to keep your hands to yourself and not interrupt the actors. Participation bags filled with props for audience members to use throughout the performance will also be available at the door and are being sold for $3 each.
Patrons 17 and under must be accompanied by an adult for this production – ID required. Every ticket purchased automatically enters you for a chance to win an autograph from an actor in the original Rocky Horror Picture Show film. The winner will be announced during our pre-show events.
