TIME WARP
THE ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW opened up the door to sexual liberty and personal expression for multitudes of people throughout the world in the ’70s and ’80s, and most notably, for the q***r community. But 50 years after the film first shocked and delighted audiences, and now during the worst era for LGBTQIA+ rights in modern history, Frank-N Furter and his cohorts are needed more than ever.

Q&A with Director Allison Berg follows the screening.
