Saturday
The Rocky Horror Picture Show
Florida Theatre | Downtown Jacksonville
After going dark for an $8 million facelift, the Florida Theatre will flip the lights on for a special screening of the cult classic sendup of midcentury B movies, The Rocky Horror Picture Show. Screenings of the film have long been events in and of themselves – with costume-clad attendees bringing all manner of props, singing and dancing along to the film’s campy, catchy tunes – and the Florida Theatre is pulling out all the stops for Saturday’s showing with a live musical performance by Annie Dukes. Show starts at 8 p.m. Tickets and more info (and the list of approved props).
