With Halloween approaching, plan to attend the Cowley College Theatre Department’s electrifying production of the Mel Brooks Musical Young Frankenstein inside the Robert Brown Theatre on October 13-15.
The cast and crew have brewed their own special scientific formula for the screen sensation. The production is rated PG-13 for adult humor and situations.
A synopsis of the show: The grandson of the infamous Victor Frankenstein, Frederick Frankenstein, inherits his family’s estate in Transylvania.
With the help of a hunchbacked sidekick and a leggy lab assistant, Frederick finds himself in the mad scientist's shoes of his ancestors. “It’s alive!” he exclaims as he brings to life a creature to rival his grandfather’s. Eventually, of course, the monster escapes, and hilarity continuously abounds.
Young Frankenstein will be performed at 7:30 p.m. on October 13-14 and at 2 p.m. on October 15.
Tickets can be purchased at cowley.edu/boxoffice or by calling 620-441-5223.
