'Rocky Horror Show' musical comes to Panida

SANDPOINT —A dark and stormy night, a young couple with car trouble and a light in the window of a creepy mansion down the road. It’s the perfect set-up for a Halloween story, right?

That’s what American Laboratory Theatre thought when it selected the cult classic, “Rocky Horror Show” as its Halloween weekend musical. The play first opened onstage in 1973 and, in 1975, the movie based on the same plot line was released. Since then, the film has attracted millions of dedicated fans who, over time, have become as much a part of the story as the actors themselves.

Those same fans will feel right at home when the maniacal Dr. Frank N. Furter and his horrific minions hit the boards in this week’s live stage production at the Panida Theater.
