Endicott College's 'Rocky Horror Picture Show' was an Insanely Awesome Time!
Not just one, but the entire cast of Endicott College lit up the stage.
Are you saying you don’t know how to time warp? We’ll show you!
Endicott College Mainstage presents The Rocky Horror Picture Show. A newly engaged couple’s car breaks down one night in the pouring rain. Figuring they can use the phone at a mansion, Brad and Janet are in for the wildest night of their lives with Dr. Frank-n-Furter.
It’s safe to say that everybody in the audience had an insanely awesome night at Endicott College’s production of The Rocky Horror Picture Show. I watched the 1975 film version on TV when I was a kid, but clearly, I was too young to appreciate it. I had the time of my life experiencing the animated energy, fun, and talents of the cast.
Not just one, but the entire cast of Endicott College lit up the stage. Dressed in crazy outfits, the exuberant energy was a highlight of the evening. A lot of rehearsal went into all the dance numbers. For a show like this, the cast had to get very friendly with one another.
Lauren DiCocco’s performance as Frank N’ Furter erupted a round of smashing applause. The theater is all about embracing new boundaries. DiCocco tremendously stole the show with her depiction of this iconic deviant personality.
As the unlucky (or you could say lucky) couple who wind up in the fun, Nate Magoon and Ashley Olson were terrific. Having spats about their relationship, they’re given a very different talk about connection.
There’s no such thing as a small part in the theater. Mia Sbalbi (Riff Raff) started up Time Warp. Libby Evan was terrific as the narrator. Thomas Rocco (Rocky) was especially noteworthy in his performance. A lot made up their own improvisations.
‘Time Warp’ was the highlight song of the evening. Everyone danced to their highest energy. Other notable songs include ‘Over at the Frankenstein Place’, ‘Planet Schmanet’, and a load of songs that’ll make you dance in your seat (which I was doing). A live orchestra sat on the balconies of the set.
From dazzling lights, enhanced sound, and an array of costumes, makeup, and hairstyles, a lot went into bringing this upbeat production to its feet. The set was fantastic. Props are important for this show. Even audience members supplied their own props, waving glow sticks in the dark.
When I say that the entire audience was having fun, I mean just that. Applauding, yelling out catchphrases and having the opportunity to dance with actors, I am never going to forget this night. My cheeks hurt so much from smiling.
That was director Katie Clarke’s main intent. Instilling that everyone in the cast was comfortable, she encouraged everyone to project their wild creative sides. The Rocky Horror Picture Show is not your average show. I am proud of Clarke for courageously stepping forward to construct this incredible ride.
As Clarke explained, The Rocky Horror Picture Show is a very different show from what the performing arts center has done in the past. She included everyone on the college campus, listening to opinions and partnering with YWCA Rape Crisis Center to take part in consent workshops with the cast.
The Rocky Horror Picture Show is not for all audiences. This production is rated R for sexual content, language, and mature subject matter. If you are going to attend a showing, it’s best to research this show.
I highly recommend that you go see The Rocky Horror Picture Show at Endicott College over the weekend. It is a high-energy production that will make your evening. Better hurry because tickets are running out fast to the time warp.

The Rachels - 2025
Much to my surprise, I have kept a list of the films I‘ve seen this year. I daresay it isn’t complete. There will be films that snuck in on a late night in front of the TV that I would’ve forgotten to note. Or others, that I went to watch at the cinema, but then had a red wine and promptly forgotten about. But it’s not a bad approximation of the films I’ve seen this year. In total, there are 53 films listed, so an average of one a week and one for good luck.

Official and Confirmed: Heavy Snow Set to Begin Late Tonight, Raising Fears of Major Disruptions and Travel Chaos
Meteorological agencies have officially confirmed that heavy snowfall will begin late tonight, triggering widespread weather alerts and raising serious concerns about travel chaos, power outages, and daily life disruptions. Authorities are urging people to prepare now, as conditions are expected to deteriorate rapidly once snowfall intensifies. Unlike brief winter flurries, this weather system is being described as severe, prolonged, and disruptive, with the potential to paralyze transport networks and strain emergency services. What’s Driving This Major Snow Event? The incoming storm is the result of a powerful collision between Arctic air and moisture-rich weather systems, creating ideal conditions for intense snowfall. Forecasters warn that once the cold front fully settles, snow could fall relentlessly for several hours, with accumulation accelerating overnight. In many regions, temperatures are expected to remain well below freezing, meaning snow will stick immediately, increasing the risk of icy roads and frozen infrastructure. Travel Chaos Almost Inevitable Transport authorities have already issued alerts warning that road, rail, and air travel will be severely affected. Snowfall during overnight and early morning hours poses particular risks, as commuters may wake up to impassable roads and delayed services. Motorways and rural routes are expected to be the hardest hit, with drifting snow and black ice creating dangerous driving conditions. Rail operators are preparing for speed restrictions, delays, and possible cancellations, while airports have activated snow-clearing protocols in anticipation of runway closures. Officials are strongly advising people to avoid non-essential travel, especially during peak morning hours. Schools, Businesses, and Public Services at Risk Local authorities are closely monitoring conditions, with the possibility of school closures increasing if snowfall intensifies as predicted. In previous events of similar magnitude, hundreds of schools were forced to shut with little notice. Businesses are also preparing contingency plans, including remote work arrangements where possible. Emergency services have warned that response times may be slower due to blocked roads and hazardous conditions. Hospitals and care facilities are prioritizing staff accommodation and transport to ensure essential workers can reach their posts safely. Power Outages and Infrastructure Concerns Heavy snow combined with strong winds can place enormous pressure on power lines, trees, and communication networks. Energy providers have placed repair crews on standby, warning that localized power outages are possible if lines are damaged by falling branches or ice buildup. Water systems and exposed pipes are also vulnerable in prolonged freezing conditions. Residents are being encouraged to insulate pipes, check heating systems, and prepare emergency supplies, including torches, batteries, and blankets. Advice for Staying Safe Authorities and weather experts have shared practical advice to help people stay safe during the storm: Keep mobile phones fully charged Stock up on essential food and medication Avoid driving unless absolutely necessary Check on elderly or vulnerable neighbors Dress in layers and wear proper winter footwear Drivers who must travel are advised to carry emergency kits, including warm clothing, food, water, and a shovel. Why This Snowfall Is Different What makes this event particularly concerning is not just the volume of snow, but its timing and persistence. Falling overnight and continuing into the morning rush, it has the potential to catch people off guard, leaving little time for road crews to clear major routes. Meteorologists also warn that after snowfall ends, plummeting temperatures could turn melting snow into dangerous ice, prolonging disruption well beyond the storm itself. Climate Patterns and Extreme Winters While winter snow is not unusual, scientists note that extreme and unpredictable weather events are becoming more frequent. Shifts in global climate patterns can lead to colder air plunging south more often, producing intense snowfall even in areas unaccustomed to it. This event serves as another reminder that infrastructure and emergency planning must adapt to a changing climate reality.
