The story follows Frederick Frankenstein, the grandson of the infamous Victor Frankenstein. When Frederick inherits his family’s estate in Transylvania, he finds himself drawn into the mad science legacy he tried so hard to escape. With the help of a hunchbacked assistant, Igor, and a spirited lab assistant, Inga, Frederick reluctantly follows in his grandfather’s footsteps and soon discovers the thrill of bringing a creature to life.

The musical features numbers like “The Transylvania Mania,” “He Vas My Boyfriend,” and “Puttin’ on the Ritz,” as Young Frankenstein delivers a night of monstrously good entertainment.

Due to mature themes and content, Young Frankenstein is recommended for audiences 16 years and older.

Show dates include April 17, 18, 19 (matinee), 23, 24, 25, 26 (matinee), 30 and May 1, 2, 3 (matinee). Evening performances begin at 7:30 p.m., and matinees begin at 1:30 p.m. at the Peterborough Theatre Guild (364 Rogers St.)
