(AUDIO) Holly and Craig Jump to the Left, Step to the Right, Etc.
Wait a minute. Aren’t all productions of The Rocky Horror Show required by Transylvanian law to be staged around Halloween for some reason? Well, listen. Sometimes a global pandemic prevents public displays of the “Time Warp” from delighting audiences. Things got pushed back. And so, after much antic…
…ipation Ferndale Repertory Theatre is going to push ahead with its Rocky Horror Show now, OK? Opening night is this coming Friday, May 27 and the show runs Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays through June 19.
On today’s edition of Humboldt Holding Up we speak with two members of the show’s cast, Holly Portman and Craig Woods, who tackle the roles of Brad and Janet in the upcoming musical. We discuss the resilience of Humboldt theater community and the trials of COVID, but most importantly we subject the stars to a Rocky Horror Show trivia pop quiz to see how prepared they are for the roles ahead of them. How will they fare?! Tune in!
