For 50 years, The Rocky Horror Picture Show has brought generations of outcasts together with their celebration of sexual freedom, reckless abandon, and radical counterculture. Through the now-iconic shadow cast performances, the fans have kept the legacy of the film going for decades, creating a unique underground culture that has remained as vivacious and engaged in the 2020s as it was in the 1970s

Almost exactly half the age of the film, Kenny Starling is about to open the first-ever drag and queer theater company in the small, conservative town of Rock Springs, Wyoming with a shadow cast performance of Rocky Horror. Surrounded by an eclectic ensemble of committed locals of different age, race, size, and identity, Starling — fully immersed in the iconic role of Dr. Frank-N-Furter — fights to bring this small pocket of America the queer joy it deserves during a time where the LGBTQ+ rights are systemically under attack. Produced by John Cameron Mitchell, Billy Porter, and Josh Gad — each of them well-acquainted with the powerful connection between the stage and its audience — Time Warp proves that fighting for freedom and equality never gets old.
