Don your leather jacket, corset, and fishnet tights, because on June 4th, DeLand Pride and the Absent Friends are bringing the cult classic “The Rocky Horror Picture Show” back to the Athens Theatre after much “antici… pation.” Whether you are experiencing “Rocky” for the first or 100th time (as long as you are over the age of 18) we invite you to come and do “The Time Warp” again. The evening will consist of a pre-show featuring several DeLand Pride drag performances (bring those $ bills for tips!) and the Absent Friends (with emcee Robert Baldwin) with their hysterical Rocky-virgin initiation fun, the ever-popular 1975 20th Century Fox film, live shadow cast (in other words, costumed actors portraying the movie while it is being screened above), dancing, and audience participation (with call backs and prop bags). The film’s plot revolves around a newly engaged and admittedly naïve couple (Brad and Janet) who get stranded on the side of the road during a stormy night and seek refuge in the nearby castle of a strange (yet alluring) Dr. Frank-N-Furter. From there the story becomes increasingly more ridiculous, raunchy, and above all, fun. To make the show more accessible, we have moved the “midnight showing” up to 8:00 p.m., opening with all the “normal” fun frivolity of welcomes, initiating the “Rocky Virgins,” and giving patrons a chance to purchase bags filled with audience participation props. The audience is encouraged to come in costume, sing along with the songs, dance the dances, and utilize their approved audience participation props. Any unapproved props will be confiscated at the door. Fl state law requires us to state that this event is an 18 and over event only. Individuals under the age of 18 will not be admitted.  A Valid ID will be necessary for entry.  Reserve SeatingGeneral Seating (1st come, 1st serve) $25 Audience Participation Prop Bags  $15.00 (Purchase these in advance and make sure to bring your receipt to the show!) A $5.00 per ticket processing charge is added to all purchases. Due to the fact that the Historic Athens Theatre does not have an elevator to the balcony. The balcony is not accessible to anyone with a wheelchair or walker. All Patrons with special needs can contact the Box Office at 386-736-1500 for our wheelchair/walker accessible seating.

Don’t miss this authentic tribute to the greatest pop group of all time…The Beach Boys! From the tight vocal arrangements to the striped shirts and the authentic, vintage guitars and amps, The Beach Buoys have done the research to effectively recreate a live Beach Boys performance from the mid 60’s, and have even performed alongside Surf legends, Jan and Dean, The Beach Boys Band, and The Wrecking Crew. Their vintage guitars, amplifiers, and drums are the same as The Beach Boys used on stage. And equally important, The Beach Buoys’ members aren’t just seasoned musical pros, they’re also fans fans of the Southern California Surf scene, the Hotrod lifestyle, and the music that set the tone for the rest of the country to jump on board! Driven by their love, respect, and passion for the era, The Beach Buoys have succeeded in replicating the sound, look, and the vibe of the boys from Hawthorne!
