SUMMARY:Rocky Horror Picture Show with Shadowcasting by Teseracte Players
DESCRIPTION:I would like\, if I may\, to take you on a strange journey. \nEver wonder what has kept crowds coming to see the Rocky Horror Picture Show for almost 50 years? Shadowcasting. Born out of audience participation\, those attending in costume would get out of their seats and act out parts of the film in front of the movie screen. This organic expression of the film’s central theme (Don’t dream it\, be it) evolved into full casts of actors performing along with the cult classic and interacting with audiences to create a unique experience with each viewing. Over time\, the art of shadowcasting has grown\, bringing this unparalleled style of entertainment to audiences world wide. Today\, while the Rocky Horror Picture Show is still the most shadowcasted film\, others (such as Grease\, Repo! The Genetic Opera\, The Princess Bride\, and many more) have made their way into theaters to the delight of audiences. \nReady to see and experience a show? Come see the Teseracte Players of Boston performing their twist on this rite of passage that is sure to thrill\, chill\, and fulfill you! \nGeneral admission seating. Tickets are $25. $5 discount available for students and seniors.

SUMMARY:Music Worcester Presents: Sam Bush
DESCRIPTION:There is only one consensus pick of peers and predecessors\, of the traditionalists\, the rebels\, and the next gen devotees\, for bluegrass music’s ultimate inside outsider (or is it outside insider?). There is only one Sam Bush. \nThe mandolin/fiddle/guitar-playing icon has taken the genre to new heights over a 50+ year career having worked with such legends as Leon Russell\, Emmylou Harris\, Béla Fleck & The Flecktones\, and Lyle Lovett. In 2009\, the Americana Music Association awarded Bush the Lifetime Achievement Award for Instrumentalist. Punch Brothers\, Steep Canyon Rangers\, and Greensky Bluegrass are just a few present-day bluegrass vanguards among so many musicians he’s influenced. His performances are annual highlights of the festival circuit\, with Bush’s joyous perennial appearances at the town’s famed bluegrass fest earning him the title\, “King of Telluride.”
