Fresh from Broadway, Mamet's new comedy November takes a satirical stab at American politics. President Charles Smith, the most corrupt buffoon ever to sit in the Oval Office, is in the final days of his bid for re-election, but the country is a mess and his poll numbers are low. Toss in a lesbian speechwriter longing to marry her sweetheart on TV, Thanksgiving turkeys awaiting pardon, and a ton of shady back-room scheming and you've got Mamet's latest. Learn More
The Rocky Horror show was amazing! The actors were very talented and the staging was well done. I think I may even buy tickets and go again!
What a fun night! Have to agree with some others that the vocals could be mic-ed up a bit to get full value from the lyrics, but it was a great production with everyone having lots of fun. I'm going to have to get that recipe and make me one of those Rockys.
OMG! This was the second time I have seen this show and it just keeps getting better and better!! Too bad this was closing weekend!! I would go back and see at least two more times!!!!

Ray of Light Theatre is proud to present Richard O'Brien's The Rocky Horror Show. This is the original musical that spawned the longest-running film of all time. It's a fully staged rock show with a live band, scenery, lighting and special effects...and it all takes place in the perfect venue: The Victoria Theatre at Mission and 16th. <p>The Rocky Horror Show stars the multi-talented Jef Valentine as Dr. Frank N Furter and features San Francisco stage veterans Rebecca Pingree, Jason Hoover, Sarah Kathleen Farrell, Manuel Caneri, Jessica Coker and Leanne Borghesi. It is directed and choreographed by Los Angeles-based Cate Caplin, with musical direction and original arrangements by Ben Prince.</p> <p>The Rocky Horror Show originally debuted in 1973 on a small experimental stage in London. A live parody of the classic sci-fi and monster movies of the 40s and 50s, it was the brainchild of actor Richard O'Brien and director Jim Sharman. It starred Tim Curry and with catchy rock music, larger-than-life characters and a bewildering plot, it was immensely popular with audiences and won the award for Best Musical of 1973 from The London Evening Standard.</p> <p>In 1974, the show came to America, opening at the Roxy Theatre in Hollywood, where it played for nine months to full houses. Tim Curry reprised his role, but many new faces joined the cast, including the rock musician Michael Lee Aday, a.k.a. Meatloaf. The production caught the attention of 20th Century Fox, who acquired the rights and set out to make it into a motion picture, </p> <p>In 1975, The Rocky Horror Picture Show opened in the United States. In the roles of Brad and Janet, it featured relative unknowns Barry Bostwick and Susan Sarandon. It received mixed reviews initially, but promoters quickly realized the film was attracting a cult following. They began to hold discount midnight screenings, which turned out to be very good idea. Audience members were returning time after time and, having memorized the film, were shouting alternate lines and dancing "The Time Warp" in the aisles. Soon "shadow casts" developed, who wore elaborate costumes and pantomimed every scene in the film on the stage in front of the screen. Now, more than 30 years later, it is still the quintessential cult film, with a huge international following, yearly conventions and midnight showings in many major cities, including San Francisco. </p> <p>Now, Ray of Light Theatre is proud to present Richard O'Brien's The Rocky Horror Show, the original stage version that started it all. They're going back to its roots, taking their inspiration from the original stage casts, and bringing it to life with live music, choreography, costumes, sets and some of San Francisco's top vocalists.</p>
