Brad & Janet, a newly engaged couple, have a breakdown in an isolated area and must pay a call to the bizarre residence of Dr. Frank-N-Furter, a transvestite building his own man, and meet challenges they are unprepared for. A rival scientist comes to the castle, and a floor show is held, in the middle of the night The RKO Army is the shadowcast performing in the Rhode Island, eastern Connecticut, and southern Massachusetts area since 1981. Known primarily for their legendary performances of the Rocky Horror Picture Show, they also perform other fan-favorite productions including REPO! The Genetic Opera, Dr. Horribles' Sing-A-Long Blog, Buffy the Vampire Slayer's "Once More with Feeling", Serenity, Firefly's "Out of Gas" and "Jaynestown", The Devil's Carnival, The Room, and the Rocky Horror spinoff Shock Treatment. They have had on-going runs at two dozen cinemas over the decades, and they have also performed as guests at a long list of of theaters, conventions, universities, clubs, and parades. In 2013 and 2016, they threw the National Rocky Horror Anniversary Conventions in Providence. They will again in 2019. Thru hard work and service, the RKO Army have elevated themselves to national status in the shadow-cast community. RKO Army is all about having fun, but they are very serious about that fun. The cast's chief mission has also been their biggest reason for growth - Reaching out to people who feel the same. This has been accomplished thru three primary avenues - Contact, Venues, and Awareness. RKO Army's operational focus will always be awareness of its audience. They love performing, but what will always supersede that is the relevancy of the entertainment to the audience. The RKO perspective is to never lose sight of the view from the seats you the audience are sitting in.
