Wimberley Players to host October movie showings

The Wimberley Players announced two outdoor movies in October: “The Rocky Horror Picture Show” and Disney’s “Encanto.”

“The Rocky Horror Picture Show” returns again to the Wimberley Players' big outdoor screen on Saturday, Oct. 15, at 10 pm. One of the oddest cult films ever made, Rocky Horror is a campy sendup of the golden days of the Bmovie horror and sciencefiction genre. The genderbending, rock'n'roll satire chronicles the adventures of Brad and Janet, played by Barry Bostwick and Susan Sarandon, after a flat tire leads them to a castle inhabited by strange people from the planet Transylvania. Dr. Frank N. Furter, played by Tim Curry; biker Eddie, played by Meatloaf; and a creepy butler, played by Richard O’Brien, are a few of the eccentrics they encounter until they meet “Rocky.”

This showing is for adults only; the movie is rated R. Interactive kits with props can be purchased for $5 at the theater. No outside props are allowed. Tickets are $13 at the door or in advance at wimberleyplayers.org.

Disney's Encanto is magical fun for the whole family. It is a story about the Madrigals, living hidden in a charmed place called an Encanto. The Encanto has blessed every child in the family with a unique gift except one of them, a girl named Mirabel. But when the Encanto is in danger, Mirabel decides that she, the only ordinary Madrigal, might just be her family’s last hope.

Tickets are $10; children 10 and under get in free. Costumes are encouraged, and children are invited to bring trick or treat bags.

All attendees are encouraged to bring lawn chairs. Popcorn, snacks and adult beverages are available for purchase at both events. Parking is available in the medical center parking lot next to the theater.

All tickets can be purchased at wimberleyplayers. org or by calling (512) 847-0575. The Wimberley Players is located at 450 Old Kyle Road in Wimberley.
