There's a light over at the Frankenstein place and it's shining over Greensburg.

		'The Rocky Horror Show' Where: Stage Right at the Greensburg Garden and Civic Center, Greensburg When: 8 p.m. and midnight tonight and tomorrow. Tickets: $20 (say "Let there be lips" for a $15 ticket, groups of eight or more $12 per ticket), 724-832-7464.

The core of a group that performed "The Rocky Horror Show" in 1996 for the former Gargaro Productions has reunited in the Westmoreland County town under the banner Stage Right. The company, cofounded several years ago by musical theater stalwart Tony Marino, is bringing competent semi-pro productions for young audiences to a region that needs and deserves more of it.

This week, they're snapping on the fishnets with "Rocky Horror." Hardcore fans will quickly realize that Stage Right's "The Rocky Horror Show" is actually a two-act stage adaptation of "The Rocky Horror Picture Show," which was, in fact, a film adaptation of the long-running original underground stage production. That means that with a few exceptions, the talented cast is re-creating the roles famously played on the big screen in 1975 by Tim Curry, Susan Sarandon, Barry Bostwick and Meat Loaf. Doing it that way probably makes it easier for Rocky-heads familiar with the movie to play their call-back roles in the audience.

Director Marino mixes low-tech props and set pieces with high-tech rear-screen animation to help guide the story. At the show's final dress rehearsal this week, the shadowbox seduction scenes seemed unfocused and some of the lighting cues were slow, but hey, that's what dress rehearsals are for. The crew seemed to be on top of it, giving every indication that it'll be better by tonight's opening.

Joe Pedulla is a hoot as a hirsute Dr. Frank-N-Furter, with a voice as big as his character's libido and a firm grasp on Curry's vocal nuances and mannerisms. Jason Swauger's bulging thespian attributes are clearly evident as he plays nerdy Brad in tightie whities, and sexy Breanna Downs gives Janet a stripped-down vulnerability.

Despite the higher-brow roles he's acted and danced over the years, Scott Sambuco may have been born to play the wry alien handyman Riff-Raff. Marino rocks on as delinquent Eddie and rolls in as Dr. Scott, giving both characters the benefit of his powerful voice, and choreographer Renata Marino is fun as love-struck Columbia and as Trixie, the big-lipped singer of the opening number. Alex Noble flexes his pecs as Rocky, and while John Noble reads competently as the narrator, he's got really great legs.

One of the best things about Stage Right is the company's burgeoning educational wing, which has identified an impressive pool of young suburban talent. Witness the students playing several of the goth-like Transylvanians, and keep an eye on Kiley Caughey, who puts some fun into the lifeless Magenta.

A note to Rocky-heads: The Garden and Civic Center doesn't want to harsh your buzz, but they're wigging out over the very thought of discovering a rotten wiener tucked under one of their 310 seats. Food and water are banned from Rock Horror bags, and while you can climb into a corset and "Time Warp" until you drop, you'll have to raise a Penlight instead of a Bic on "Over at the Frankenstein Place."

Fans have been giving themselves over to absolute pleasure at two other "Rocky Horror" productions, which will continue this weekend. Comtra Theatre in Cranberry performs the late-night double feature Fridays and Saturdays at 7:30 p.m. through Nov. 6 (724-773-9896), and it runs at the Cresson Lake Playhouse at 9 p.m. tonight and Saturday (1-814-472-4333).
