A Kansas City theater performer was killed in a car crash Friday night after appearing in a sold-out performance of “The Rock Horror Picture Show” in Lawrence.
Louise ImMasche, who played the part of Dr. Frank-N-Furter in the show at Theatre Lawrence, was driving a 2019 Kia Forte east on Kansas 10 Highway on the south side of Lawrence, about 1.75 miles from U.S. 59 at 10:29 p.m. when a 2008 Chevrolet Tahoe headed west veered out of its lane and hit ImMasche’s car head on, according to a Kansas State Highway Patrol crash report.
ImMasche was declared dead at the scene. The driver of the Tahoe was taken to Overland Park Regional Medical Center with serious injuries.
The two shows scheduled for Saturday were canceled, according to a post on Theatre Lawrence’s Facebook account.
