Toledo’s fall tradition of fishnets, fun, and “Time Warp” madness was alive and well. Stone Productions once again packed the house at the Collingwood Arts Center, selling out all three nights of The Rocky Horror Show during its 10th anniversary season.
Each performance brought diverse crowds who came ready to sing, shout, and dance along.
From seasoned fans who’ve made it a yearly ritual to first-timers soaking in the chaos, the audience energy was electric. It wasn’t just a show—it was a shared celebration of self-expression and Toledo’s thriving theater community.
“This is why we do it,” said Stone Productions director Jaymes Mull. “To see the audience come alive like that—it’s magic. They’re part of the performance, and that’s what makes Rocky Horror timeless.”
Throughout the weekend, the Collingwood Arts Center buzzed with excitement. Fans arrived in costume, props in hand, and voices ready for the iconic call-backs that make Rocky Horror unlike any other theater experience. The combination of live music, bold performances, and the historic atmosphere of Collingwood created a perfect blend of nostalgia and community spirit.
Selling out three consecutive nights marks another milestone for Stone Productions, reinforcing its status as one of the longest-running Rocky Horror production in Ohio. The success also highlights the growing appetite for live theater in Toledo—and the power of tradition to unite people across generations.
As one audience member summed it up, “It’s not just a show anymore. It’s something we look forward to every year. You come for the laughs, stay for the people, and leave feeling like part of something bigger.”
In Toledo, that “something bigger” looks a lot like a corset, some glitter, and a whole lot of love for The Rocky Horror Show.
