The State Theatre has announced the latest additions to its upcoming schedule of performances:
■ Love and Light Productions presents ‘The Rocky Horror Show’
8 p.m., Thursday, Oct. 27; 7 and 11 p.m., Friday, Oct. 28; 8 p.m., Saturday, Oct.29
This sexy rock musical tell the story of two clean-cut kids, Brad Majors and Janet Weiss, who run into car trouble and seek help at the site of light down the road. Little do they know it’s coming from the place where lingerie-clad Dr. Frank ‘N’ Furter is in the midst of his maniacal experiments.
The musical, set to a live punk rock soundtrack, is for adult audiences only. No one younger than 18 will be admitted.
Tickets are $20 for orchestra seats, plus a $2 ticketing fee.
■ ‘Moto 8’
7 p.m., Thursday, Nov. 3
The dirt bike film series returns with ‘Moto 8,’ once again bringing the greatest riders in the game to the most epic locations. From the biggest tracks in the world, to going 100-plus mph through the Australian outback, the new movie continues the progression of filmmaking in the two-wheel world. It’s the roots of motocross, portrayed in the modern era: wide-open throttles and massive jumps combined with helicopters and 4K cameras.
The film stars Dean Wilson, Kris Foster, Tom Parsons, Jessy Nelson, Haiden Deegan, Axell Hodges, Josh Hill, Toby Price, Ivan Ramirez, Cody Webb, Kevin Rookstool, Reagan Sieg, Tim Gajser and more.
Tickets are $15 in advance and $18 the day of the show. Children ages 10 and younger get in for free, but must have a ticket.

■ National Theatre HD Live Broadcast: ‘No Man’s Land’
7 p.m., Friday, Jan. 20
Following their hit run on Broadway, Ian McKellen (of “Magneto” and “Gandalf” fame) and Patrick Stewart (of “Professor X” and “Captain Picard” fame) return to the West End stage in Harold Pinter’s “No Man’s Land,” broadcast live to cinemas from Wyndham’s Theatre, London.
One summer’s evening, two ageing writers, Hirst and Spooner, meet in a Hampstead pub and continue their drinking into the night at Hirst’s stately house nearby. As the pair become increasingly inebriated, and their stories increasingly unbelievable, the lively conversation soon turns into a revealing power game, further complicated by the return home of two sinister younger men.
The show also stars Owen Teale and Damien Molony. The broadcast will be followed by an exclusive question-and-answer session with the cast and director Sean Mathias.
This show is sponsored by Webster’s Bookstore and Cafe and Allied Mechanical. Tickets are $10 for general admission, plus a $2.50 ticket fee, or $8, plus a $1.50 ticket fee, for students and seniors.
This production contains mature content. Children younger than 18 must be accompanied by an adult.
