Forbidden Planet Productions

We are in our 31st year of producing quality theatre at the George Washington University. FPP started in 1994 as a group of friends who wanted to produce The Rocky Horror Picture Show. Today, we honor our roots by producing The Rocky Horror Picture Show every fall, and have expanded to producing a musical Cabaret every spring, along with two other full length shows each semester.
