Opening

Don Shelby portrays the old narrator who welcomes audiences into a world dominated by hunchbacks, transvestites and ghouls -- much as he did for two decades as WCCO-TV's anchorman. Shelby headlines a cast that includes Andre Shoals as Frank-N-Furter, Randy Schmeling as Riff Raff, Molly Callinan as Magenta, Erin Capello as the charming Janet and Reid Harmsen as Brad. Andrew Rasmussen, the young dynamo behind independent productions of "Rent" and "Wild Party," is producing and directing this show in the Lab Theater, a venue that seems perfectly suited to the event.
