The Rocky Horror Picture Show (1975) at Garde Arts Center New London

Celebrate 50 years of cult-classic chaos as the Garde Arts Center presents The Rocky Horror Picture Show on Sunday, November 23, 2025, at 7 pm. Shadowcast by the high-energy performance troupe RKO Army, this interactive screening invites audiences to experience the world’s most iconic midnight movie like never before—complete with costumes, call-backs, and audience participation.

Follow sweethearts Brad and Janet as a flat tire leads them into the eccentric mansion of Dr. Frank-N-Furter, a mad scientist from Transsexual, Transylvania. Featuring outrageous characters, unforgettable rock-and-roll hits, and a creation named Rocky, this beloved film has been thrilling fans for five decades with its mix of camp, rebellion, and infectious fun.

Each ticket includes a prop bag so attendees can join in the action throughout the screening. Props include classics like a newspaper, noisemaker, glove, toilet paper, party hat, and even a “toast”—everything you need to become part of the show. Costumes are encouraged, and first-timers (affectionately called “virgins”) are especially welcome to join the mayhem.

The Garde Arts Center is located at 325 State Street, New London, Connecticut. Tickets are available through the venue’s website and box office.
