Rocky performers hit 'time warp' on way to Brisbane 

Rockhampton ‘Rocky Horror’ performers Glenn Olive (Riff Raff), Natalie Whelan (Columbia) and Katie Ross (Magenta) are flying out to be ambassadors to Brisbane’s Rocky Horror festival.

PhotoID:268 The Central Queensland Conservatorium of Music performers featured in Horrors in Rocky in April, presented by Rockhampton Tourist and Business Information at the Great Western Hotel. More than 800 people attended the event.

Brisbane’s festival on the evening of Friday, Sept 13, is being held at the old Boggo Road goal.

CQ Conservatorium lecturer Emma Killion said she was keen for links to develop between the two Rocky Horror events and had invited some of the Brisbane performers as ambassadors to the Rockhampton event next year.

The interchange of performers is being made possible thanks to sponsorship from CQU Travelcrew.

Horrors in Rocky was conceived as an annual event to attract tourists to Rockhampton.
