The Rocky Horror Picture Show with Patricia Quinn
Event Description
The Rocky Horror Picture Show, the longest-running theatrical release in film history, celebrates its 49th anniversary with three national tours visiting more than 50 cities.
Fans will be able to meet and talk with Patricia Quinn, acclaimed star of this cult classic. Quinn’s iconic portrayal of Magenta has thrilled generations of fans for nearly 50 years.
The show will also feature a costume contest, a performance by the local shadow cast, and a meet-and-greet with the star for VIP ticket holders. The shadow cast hilariously acts out the movie onstage while it plays onscreen.
The Rocky Horror Picture Show is the iconic little movie that conquered Hollywood. It stars Tim Curry as the devious and fabulous Frank-N-Furter; Meatloaf; Barry Bostwick and Susan Sarandon as everybody's favorite nerdy couple, Brad and Janet; and the film's creator, Richard O'Brien, as Riff Raff. The film has become one of the longest weekly-showing movies in the world. The tour gives fans the chance to experience in person this interactive sensation.
Nothing beats a Rocky Horror screening, where you can jump up and dance to "The Time Warp" in a live, interactive experience. Come up to the lab and see what's on the slab!

Belk Theater features state-of-the-art equipment, production and support capabilities and can host any event, from grand opera to rock to corporate annual meetings and lectures.
The theater features a contemporary European horseshoe arrangement for an intimate atmosphere and world-class acoustics. The most distant seat is less than 135 feet from the stage.
A hallmark of the theater’s design is some 2,400 “points of light” in the audience chamber, part of a dazzling fiber optic network with multi-color capabilities.
Renowned architect Cesar Pelli designed the Performing Arts Center, which opened in 1992, as well as the adjacent Bank of America Corporate Center and Founders Hall. The Center’s name honors the contributions of the people of the state of North Carolina as well as the generosity of the Blumenthal Foundation, the largest private donor to the capital campaign.
