1. The Rocky Horror Show
Friday & Saturday, October 18 & 19 @ 7:30 pm - 10:00 pm
Players on Air presents: The Rocky Horror Show. In this cult classic, sweethearts Brad and Janet, stuck with a flat tire during a storm, discover the eerie mansion of Dr. Frank-N-Furter. As their innocence is lost, Brad and Janet meet a houseful of wild characters, including a rocking biker and a creepy butler. Through elaborate dances and rock songs, Frank-N-Furter unveils his latest creation: a muscular man named “Rocky.”
That “Sweet Transvestite” and his motley crew did the “Time Warp” on Broadway in a 25th anniversary revival. Complete with sass from the audience, cascading toilet paper, and an array of other audience participation props, this deliberately kitschy rock ’n’ roll sci-fi gothic musical is more fun than ever.
**Friday,October 25th performance starts at 11:59pm**

5. Pianist Vladimir Stoupel
Sunday, October 20 @ 2:00 pm
Sunday Classics Series
Piano Recital, Vladimir Stoupel
*Previously advertised as Duo Ingolfsson-Stoupel, this performance is now a solo pianist recital.
Featuring the works of Schuman, Brahms, Schubert, and Dukas’ The Sorcerer’s Apprentice.
Vladimir Stoupel is an individualist with an extraordinarily rich tonal and emotional palette. The Washington Post praised his “protean range of expression” and Der Tagesspiegel Berlin described his performance as “enthralling and atmospherically dense.” His extraordinary technical command allows him to explore the outermost limits of expression, mesmerizing audiences with his musical intensity. After a solo recital, the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung granted the pianist a critic’s greatest compliment: “Unforgettable!”
