Open Audition Announcement for Mel Brooks’ Young Frankenstein
At The Jean Henderson Performing Arts Center, in Davis California.
Type: Theater
Location: Davis, CA
Join the cast of Mel Brooks’ Young Frankenstein, a hilarious musical comedy based on the iconic 1974 film. This electrifying adaptation follows the story of Dr. Frederick Frankenstein, the reluctant grandson of the infamous Victor Frankenstein, who inherits his family’s castle in Transylvania. With the help of a cast of quirky characters—including the delightfully odd Igor, the captivating Inga, and the mysterious Frau Blücher—Frederick finds himself swept into his grandfather’s experiments, leading to monstrous (and musical) hilarity. Packed with memorable songs and Brooks’ signature wit, Young Frankenstein promises an unforgettable night of laughs.
