Mel Brooks "Young Frankenstein" at Theatre in the Park

Based on the 1974 cult-classic film (written by Brooks and Gene Wilder), Young Frankenstein is a delightfully offbeat send-up of horror movies, old-school musicals, and the dangers of letting your assistant pick out brains.

Frederick Frankenstein…wait, it’s pronounced Fronkensteen… is a tightly wound professor doing everything he can to avoid his family’s legacy of mad science. But when he inherits his grandfather’s castle in Transylvania, the temptation to reanimate the dead becomes a little too real. And by real, we mean hilariously disastrous.
