Fall is almost here and to kick off the Halloween season Circle Theatre has joined forces with Wealthy Theatre to show screenings of “The Rocky Horror Picture Show” and “Hocus Pocus.”
“The Rocky Horror Picture Show” will run Oct. 1 to 3 and “Hocus Pocus” will run Oct. 8 to 10. Doors open at 7 p.m. with a costume contest at 7:45 p.m. and the show will start at 8 p.m.
“The Rocky Horror Picture Show” is a 1975 musical comedy horror film that was mostly featured in theaters around midnight due to its mature content. The cult favorite is known for such songs as “Let’s Do the Time Wrap Again” and launched the careers of Tim Curry, Susan Sarandon, Barry Bostwick, and Meat Loaf. Another cult classic, “Hocus Pocus” is a 1993 Disney movie about the Sanderson sisters who were resurrected by a teenage boy in Salem, Mass, on Halloween night. The film features Bette Milder and Sarah Jessica Parker.
Patrons will have access to a cash bar with both alcoholic and non alcoholic drinks. Popcorn and candy will be available but guests are allowed to bring their own picnic-style food.
Films will be shown on the lawn of the Aquinas College Performing Arts Center, where Circle Theatre has its productions. The Aquinas College Performing Arts Center is located at 1703 Robinson Rd. SE. Social distancing between groups will be enforced and guests are required to wear masks when not seated. Tickets are $15 and can be purchased by calling the box office at 616-456-6656 or visit Circletheatre.org
Guests should bring their own picnic blankets and beach chairs. They are also encouraged to get into the Halloween spirit by participating in costume contests. Each screening will have a costume contest held before the show.
All proceeds from this event will support local theater.
