OTP Is Ready to Do the Time Warp!

Oct. 18, 2025

Can you believe The Rocky Horror Picture Show turns 50 this year? (The film version is the longest-running theatrical release in history!) We can’t believe half a century has gone by, but luckily we’ll get a chance to celebrate the milestone. For the first time in 20 years, Old Town Playhouse in Traverse City will be doing the time warp with performances running Oct. 24-Nov. 1. (If you’re not familiar, the cult classic has a history as a “midnight movie,” so you can opt for the 11pm shows on Oct. 25 and Nov. 1.) Come as you are, or don your best costume! But please do NOT bring props—OTP will have supplies on hand for that purpose. Tickets are $35 for adults, $25 for youth under 18—though note that OTP recommends the show for mature audiences due to language, sexual themes and discussions throughout, and violence. oldtownplayhouse.com/performances/mainstage/the-rocky-horror-show.html
