MERCYYYYYYY! Just when you think this can't get any better Theatre Raleigh announces that YouTube sensation Penn Holderness will be playing Riff Raff, the Transylvanian who came to Earth with his sister Magenta and his master, Frank 'N' Furter.Penn Holderness discusses his role as Riff Raff in The Rocky Horror Show Don't miss your favorite motley crew as they do the Time Warp LIVE at Booth Amphitheatre.
