Loose and Somewhere on the Castle Grounds…
This week, Danvers Youth Theatre will be performing The Rocky Horror Picture Show with a twist: the action takes place at Danvers State Hospital instead of Frankenfurter’s castle. You can read about it here: Local ‘Rocky Horror’ Show Brings a Danvers State Feel.
Aside from scenery backdrops and some costume modifications, it doesn’t sound like this production will deviate much from the original though. The change of setting is more a clever gimmick than a statement or exploration of the hospital’s weird mystique. Still, it’s kind of a fun and irreverent idea which is in good keeping with the story, if not particularly sensitive to DSH’s history. But I don’t think DYT needs to be criticized for that really.
Performances will take place at the Masonic Temple Danvers at on August 7th, 8th and 9th. Tickets are $10. Email danversyouththeatre@hotmail.com for tickets and other details.
If I had known about this earlier I would have made the trip.
That image should of been on the save DSH shirts they made a few years ago.
It would have saved Danvers, probably Northampton as well. I told you and then you moaned about putting your face out in the public because of your job.
I want my garters back btw.
You’re just jealous John looks better in your garters than you ever will.
