Halloween at Theatre N with “The Rocky Horror Picture Show”

With Halloween approaching, “The Rocky Horror Picture Show” has become a tradition for many across the country and around the world. Although the movie is not as shocking by today’s standards as it was when first released in 1975, it still contains mature themes and tongue-in-cheek jokes.

‘Irene’ the Burlesque Revue

Wilmington musician and composer Shaun Dougherty put together a unique show just in time for Halloween: a burlesque revue of his original vampire ballet “Irene.” The show made its debut with the First State Ballet in 2014 at the Grand and now it’s back.
