“Young Frankenstein,” the hilarious Mel Brooks musical, will come to life in six productions at the Artistic Civic Theatre Playhouse in Dalton, Georgia, beginning Friday, July 27.
Frederick Frankenstein (portrayed by Carl Reiter) is the Dean of Anatomy at New York’s John, Miriam and Anthony Hopkins School of Medicine. He is the grandson of infamous mad scientist Dr. Victor von Frankenstein, although he has tried to separate himself from the family name -pronouncing his last name “Fronkensteen,” not Frankenstein.
After learning of his grandfather’s death, Frederick travels to Transylvania to settle his grandfather’s estate, leaving his fiancée, Elizabeth Benning (Emeline Phinney) behind in New York.
Upon arriving in Transylvania, Frederick meets the grandson of Victor’s henchman, Igor (Kirt Johnson), who has already hired a yodeling lab assistant, Inga (Taylor Nix), to help Frederick resume his grandfather’s work.
