'Young Frankenstein' at Villagers Theatre

Villagers Theatre is bringing "Young Frankenstein" to life on its mainstage this weekend as it stages an adaptation of Mel Brooks’ famous monster comedy.

Grandson of the infamous Victor Frankenstein, Frederick Frankenstein inherits his family’s estate in Transylvania. With the help of a hunchbacked side-kick, Igor; and a leggy lab assistant, Inga; Frederick finds himself in the mad scientist 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.

Directed by Nick Wainwright, the show opens Friday evening, with performances at 8 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays and at 2 p.m. Sundays, June 10-26. Tickets cost $20 for adults, and $18 for seniors or students; and are available online. Villagers Theatre is located at 475 DeMott Lane, Somerset.

For more information, call the theater at (732) 873-2710. .
