Thank you to our sponsors:  Out Central Oregon, Regal Theaters, COCC, Adventure Time Entertainments, Little Town Productions.

We recognize that Rocky Horror was released in 1975 and uses language and themes that may not be appropriate or sensitive by modern standards, particularly regarding gender, sexuality, and trans, non-binary and gender fluid identities.  We believe that engaging with the film allows us to reflect on progress while appreciating the historical context in which it was made.  We encourage open dialogue and understanding among our audience members
