KITCHEN SINK THEATRE COMPANY and BROOKLYN ART HAUS present a production of the Rocky Horror Picture Show like you've never seen before! Brooklyn Art Haus is being transformed into Frank-N-Furter's castle where we will celebrate the annual Transylvanian Convention in a reimagined shadow cast experience!
