The Rocky Horror Picture Show (1975)

The cult classic takes the audience into the twisted world of Dr. Frank-n-Furter, a/k/a the “Sweet Transvestite from Transylvania” (Tim Curry). A mild-mannered newly engaged couple (Susan Sarandon and Barry Bostwick) gets stranded in the rain during a road trip. Thankfully, they find shelter — but they learn too late that there is nothing safe and serene at Frank-n-Furter’s castle. The Plaza Classic Film Festival wouldn’t be the same without our 13th annual outdoor screening of this fan favorite and ultimate interactive movie-going experience. Let’s do the Time Warp again! Props are optional, but encouraged. Capacity will be limited to 1,000. STARRING: Tim Curry, Richard O'Brien, Susan Sarandon, Barry Bostwick RATED: R The Plaza Classic Film Festival, which goes into its 15th year July 28-August 7, 2022, was started by the El Paso Community Foundation in 2008 as a special project to bring movies back to the historic Plaza Theatre. The Community Foundation purchased 35mm and state-of-the-art 2K digital projection equipment (which was upgraded to 4K in 2018) for the atmospheric theater, which opened in 1930, closed in the early ’80s, and was restored for $38 million in 2006 in a joint partnership between the City of El Paso and the Community Foundation.
