A story about embracing the unexpected and discovering that sometimes the things we’re most afraid of aren’t so scary after all.
Based on Mel Brooks’ hilarious comedy, Young Frankenstein brings classic movie monsters, larger-than-life characters, and unforgettable music together in a wildly entertaining theatrical adventure. As unlikely friendships form and expectations are turned upside down, we’re reminded that what makes us different can also be what brings us together.
Rehearsals are held Monday – Thursday from 7 pm – 9pm (some Saturdays may be scheduled for Set/Prop creation). Not every character is called to every rehearsal. A rehearsal schedule will be provided during the week of auditions.
For actors 16+
