Rocky Horror Picture Show Returns to The Covellite for Two Nights

Butte fans of costumes, camp and cult-classic cinema will have two chances to do the Time Warp this October when The Covellite Theatre brings back its 3rd Annual Rocky Horror Picture Show event.

The two-night celebration is scheduled for Friday, Oct. 23, and Saturday, Oct. 24, at The Covellite, located at 215 W. Broadway in Butte. Doors open at 9 p.m., with a special pre-show at 9:30 p.m. before the movie begins at 10 p.m.

Hosting the pre-show will be Boxcar Billy Butte and Luca Mele, setting the stage for an evening of outrageous fun. A live shadow cast will perform alongside the movie, bringing the beloved cult classic's madness to life on stage.

For newcomers, a Rocky Horror night is about more than simply watching a movie. Audience participation is part of the experience, so guests are encouraged to make some noise, join in the fun and embrace the wonderfully weird atmosphere. Costumes are highly encouraged, and organizers say the more outrageous, the better.

General admission tickets cost $15 in advance or $20 on the day of the show. Those looking to make it a group outing can reserve a top table for four for $125. The package includes seating for four, four drink tokens and four prop bags. Additional prop bags will be available at the door for $5 each.

The event is restricted to guests 18 and older, and attendees must bring valid identification.

Whether you're a longtime Rocky Horror fan or experiencing the phenomenon for the first time, The Covellite's annual celebration offers a chance to dress up, bring friends and enjoy a famously unconventional movie night.

With two nights on the schedule, there's another opportunity to join the fun and let the Time Warp take over Butte.
