Are you ready for an immersive theatrical Halloween experience like no other, offered by Creating Arts Studios most outrageously talented lunatics and freaks? If you are like me, rush over and throw your cares to the wind and join in the wicked fun and dance along with the characters in the twisted world of the Experiment, where Dr. Bradley and Nurse Janice welcome you into their private asylum. Upon arrival the candy stripers will check you in and usher you to the day room, where you’ll shudder with… anticipation to meet the resident patients.
Trust me – you will get up close and personal with them as they wind you through a tangled tale of sex, power and madness which follows the storyline of “The Rocky Horror Picture Show” incorporating many of the much-loved comic tunes along with references to many other off-beat tales. You will laugh and carry on along with the craziness as you get lost in a time warp of songs and dance in this sexy, eerie 360 degree, completely immersive insane cabaret.
But don’t worry, all patients are under sedation and promise not even an inch of anger.
Just remember to follow the Asylum rules during your visit:?1. No touching the patients – unless they ask (which they will do!);?2. No admittance under 21, this show features fun-loving adult content and costumes;?3. Doors open at 7 p.m. with live music and other asylum offerings; 4. Sedatives are for the patients only – but they will frequently share;?5. Singing and dancing will be contagious. Get ready to lose your mind in the best of all possible ways during this rambunctious romp epitomizing the best in stage creativity.
