The Burien Little Theatre (BLT) will open its new season with the award winning musical, "The Rocky Horror Show" featuring several public officials as guest narrators during its six-week run.

The performances will be in the Burien Community Center auditorium, at the corner of 4th Avenue Southwest and Southwest 146th St.

"Rocky" is described as an outrageous musical comedy featuring a Transylvania transvestite, a cryogenically-preserved motor biker and Frankenstein's monster (with a Charles Atlas twist).

The send-up of horror and science fiction film genres will run at the theatre from Sept. 26 to Nov.2. The production contains sexual content and is not recommended for persons 15 or younger.

Tickets are $5 to $18.

Featured guest narrators include U.S. Rep. Jim McDermott on Oct. 19 as well as other civic leaders.

BLT's production of "The Rocky Horror Show" is directed by veteran BLT stage director Steve Cooper and music director Ann Sager.

The show features Steve Bucheit (Frank 'n' Furter), Ashley Coates (Janet), Colin Madison (Brad), Jim Oestreich (Rocky), along with Ben Cornoyer, Michelle Flowers, Jackie Graybill, John Huddlestun, Jen Makenas, Allyson Manning, Mok Moser, Dan Posluns, and Mark Williams.

The BLT band includes Sager on keyboard, Theron Andrews on lead guitar, Eddy Fey on bass guitar and Bill Riach on drums.

"Participation Kits" will be available for purchase at the ticket office. Certain objects will be prohibited to ensure the safety of the audience and the cast, according to BLT staffers. A complete list will be posted at the show.

Most Friday and Saturday performances will begin at 8 p.m. while Sunday matinees start at 2 p.m. On Friday, Oct. 24 and Halloween, Oct. 31, the production will not start until 10 p.m.

The schedule of guest narrators is Debbie Zemke from Burien Parks, Oct. 3; state Sen. Joe McDermott, Oct. 5; state Rep. Sharon Nelson, Oct. 10; Burien City Councilwoman Kathy Keene, Oct. 11; former Burien City Councilman Stephen Lamphear, Oct. 18; U.S. Rep. Jim McDermott, Oct. 19 and state Rep. Dave Upthegrove, Oct. 25.

The show opens with two naive teenagers, Brad and Janet, who run into car problems in the midst of a rainstorm. To find a phone Brad and Janet walk to the nearby residence, the Frankenstein castle. Instead of the hoped for phone, they find Dr. Frank 'n' Furter, a mad scientist from another planet who is going to help the couple by removing "the cause, but not the symptoms."

The cure involves sexual escapades, floor shows, dancing, music, the secret to life is revealed, and the show ends in a UFO, general chaos and sexual confusion for the previously naive Brad and Janet.

The show, with music, lyrics and book by Richard O'Brien debuted on stage June 19, 1973, in London where it ran for 2,960 performances before closing in early September of 1980.

Since its debut, the show has been translated into a variety of languages and produced in cities all over the world, including two runs on Broadway. In 1975, the show was also made into the popular cult movie "The Rocky Horror Picture Show."
