Details
2026 is the 50th anniversary of The Rocky Horror Picture Show hitting theaters, and Renegade Theater Company is celebrating by staging the live musical, complete with a live band, costume contests, and raffle prizes. The show will run for 4 weekends at the Santa Cruz Vet’s Hall downtown starting in late July.
Sexy, vulgar, and outright deranged, The Rocky Horror Show has been delighting and provoking audiences for half a century. Audiences will revel once again in the incredible and outrageous characters Brad, Janet, and Dr. Frank-n-Furter!
The Rocky Horror Show is famous for its audience interaction, where patrons toss rice into the aisle during a staged wedding, spray water guns in the air, and shout back at the actors as they recite the legendary script. On our ticketing website, audiences can purchase an interactive goodie bag for $10 in addition to their ticket. This goodie bag includes a squirt gun, a newspaper, rice, cards, a piece of Rocky Horror merchandise, and more! We want this year’s celebration of The Rocky Horror Show to be as raucous and glorious as it’s ever been. General admission tickets are $30, and student tickets are $25, except for community night, where all tickets are $15. Community night is August 13th.
