YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN Comes Alive at Des Moines Playhouse!

The Des Moines Community Playhouse presents "The New Mel Brooks Musical Young Frankenstein," Mar. 17-Apr. 9. Tickets may be purchased online at dmplayhouse.com, by phone at 515-277-6261, or at The Playhouse ticket office, 831 42nd St.

From the creators of "The Producers" comes this wickedly inspired re-imagining of the classic Frankenstein story! Dr. Frederick Frankenstein (grandson of the infamous Victor Frankenstein, played by Charlie Reese) finally succeeds in creating a monster (Adam Yankowy) to rival his grandfather's, but not without some hilarious complications. With the help of his mysterious side-kick Igor ("It's pronounced Eye-gore."; played by Brett Spahr), a leggy lab assistant, Inga (PaTricia Arvanis), and fiancée Elizabeth (Jackie Schmillen), Frederick gets to work back in Transylvania to finish what his family started long ago.

The Playhouse cast includes Mary Bricker, Brad D. Church, Emily Davis, Megan Helmers, Katie Herting, Jess Hoffert, Andrew Hughes, Jay Jacobson, Greg Kephart, Eric Layden, Dean Messerly, Rachel Elizabeth Meyer, Lindsay Mickelson, Brent Nery, Don Rothweiler, Christopher Rozenboom, Stephanie Schneider, Alxandra Stark, Tony Tandeski, and Lexus Waymire. "Young Frankenstein" is directed by Maxwell Schaeffer, and is choreographed by Alison Shafer with musical direction by Brenton Brown.

The Playhouse is one of the oldest and largest community theatres in the US. Located at the 42nd Street exit of I-235, the theatre has presented a full season of shows since 1919 and also offers a wide variety of educational experiences including classes for ages 4 to adult, theatre trips to New York, and volunteer opportunities onstage and backstage.
