In July 2018, FSCJ’s South Campus Wilson Center for the Arts in conjunction with FSCJ’s Artist Series hosted its thirteenth annual high school summer musical theatre experience featuring Young Frankenstein, a musical adaptation of Mel Brooks’s 1974 hit film (which was itself a loose reworking of Mary Shelley’s classic novel). Respected Johnson Hopkins Dean of Anatomy Dr. Frederick Frankenstein learns that he has inherited his infamous grandfather's estate in Transylvania. Arriving at the castle, Dr. Frankenstein is persuaded by servants Igor and Inga and the fearsome Frau Blücher to take up the “family business” and resume his grandfather's experiments. After successfully creating his own monster, complications ensue with the arrival of the doctor's fiancée, Elizabeth, and the growing unease of the townsfolk.
This show ran at FSCJ's Wilson Center for the Arts July 20-July 29, 2018.
