4 out of 5 Stars! Why this may be the best ROCKY HORROR to date… Read the full review here.

“American Stage in the Park presents what may be the best Rocky Horror ever…first-rate…top-notch…superb…a wildly spinning sexual kaleidoscope that delights virtually from its first moment, and doesn’t rest until its audience has been carried away by its velocity…So: once more into the Time Warp, friends. Rocky Horror wants you back. And this just may be your best time ever.” -Mark E. Leib, Creative Loafing

“ROCKY HORROR makes for freaky but fun night in the park…ridiculous, and that is just what the doctor ordered for this year’s edition of American Stage in the Park…draws the audience into the show with a vengeance…benefits from the best band in town…These guys rock hard, and sound designer Kyle Easley deserves credit for a mix in which each instrument can be heard clearly. Joe Oshry’s lighting design is the most effective to be seen in a park production.” -John Fleming, Tampa Bay Times

This one-woman cast commands the audience and connects like no other. She will make you cry and laugh while shocking you when you least expect it. Get in line for the ride of your life!

“A must-see production…remarkable…splendid…Lisa Powers delivers as near perfect a performance in this one-woman show as you can hope to see anywhere, and I’m including New York and London and Mars… an evening that delivers such powerhouse acting…Powers is formidable, funny, tender, imposing, heart-rending, and just plain definitive. Kron’s text is exceedingly intelligent and emotionally urgent…This is inspired acting, and reason for excitement. A missing luminary has just returned, oh so brightly, to the Bay area…” - Mark E. Leib, Creative Loafing

“Provocative…Drew DeCaro and Justin Campbell are superb… beautifully directed by T. Scott Wooten.” – Mark E. Leib, Creative Loafing

This is one play not to miss this year. Don’t be fooled by small cast and minimal set. It’s everything, but small. The acting is flawless and will leave you wanting more.

“The stuff of great drama…Now theater has its own noir thriller…dark…twisted…captures the profane poetry of beat cops perfectly…Drew DeCaro and Justin Campbell give powerful performances as a pair of cops who make a horrific mistake in A Steady Rain…There’s an almost Shakespearean gravity and rightness to their relationship.”
-John Fleming, Tampa Bay Times.
