Soul Collective Returns to Fort Wayne<\/strong>
\nTuesday, September 10<\/em>, 7: 30 p.m.
\nFoellinger Theatre, 3411 Sherman Blvd.
\nCollective Soul has charted a path that most rock bands dream of, but only few achieve. The band’s enduring rock hits like “Shine” and “The World I Know” testify to their Southern grit and stick-to-you-like-glue melodies. Now celebrating three decades, their newest release, Here to Eternity, features songs like the blues-tinged \u201cBluer Than Blue\u201d and roots rocker \u201cNot the Same.\u201d Collective Soul is a musical journey that’s just getting started! Most seats are $22.50, $32.50, and $52.50, with limited seating available for $62.50 and $82.50.<\/p>\n

\nFriday, September 13<\/em>, 8:00 p.m.
\nSaturday, September 14<\/em>, 11:59 p.m.
\nFoellinger Theatre, 3411 Sherman Blvd.
\nAt last! The original stage version of the cult movie is now LIVE on stage; see Dr. Frank N. Furter match wits (?) with the innocent young newlyweds? Thrill to the delightfully trashy rock and roll music! It isn\u2019t a play, it isn\u2019t a musical, it isn\u2019t a rock concert\u2026It\u2019s a sort of glitter, rock, horror, comedy, transvestite circus\u2026 And if you love-say, Sound of Music-you will probably hate it. The Rocky Horror Show is a sicko-wacko-weirdo rock concert. It keeps trying to blow your mind with loud music and perverted sexuality, but is so simpleminded, and so completely silly, that it ends up being a lot of fun. It may get a cult following. Musical is rated PG-13 for Adult Language and Content.<\/p>\n
