Like roses, family relationships are beautiful but thorny. This Pulitzer Prize and two-time Tony Award-winning play is a poignant drama set in The Bronx in 1946 about the emotional struggles and hidden tensions within a family as their son returns from service in WWII. As they confront their past and present, this timeless play explores enduring themes of reconciliation and the fragility of love.   John Slattery (photo by Greg Gorman)

Book by Mel Brooks and Thomas Meehan
Music and Lyrics by Mel Brooks 
Original Direction & Choreography by Susan Stroman
Directed by Stuart Ross
Choreography by Gerry McIntyre
(August 1 – 25)
The comedic genius of Mel Brooks combines with classic B-movie horror in this hilarious musical based on his beloved film. The young American doctor Frederick Frankenstein (“that's pronounced Fronkensteen!”) is summoned to Transylvania to claim his Grandfather Victor's estate. Little does he know that this journey will change not only his life, but those of everyone around him, including his sidekick Igor, the beautiful assistant Inga, and a brand-new Monster made for Musical Comedy Heaven. Brace yourself for a wild and inventive production of this side-splitting musical comedy from the director and choreographer of Bay Street's hit “Enter Laughing”. Stuart Ross
