Ever since Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus was released into the cultural zeitgeist of 1800s England, folks have been morbidly fascinated by its subject matter. Smash cut to 2024, and we’re still reveling in the monstrous tale: The Lamoille County Players produce Young Frankenstein this month. The Halloweeny hootenanny is based on Mel Brooks’ iconic 1974 film, which reimagines one doctor’s quest to reanimate stitched-together tissue. The end result? Well, not great in the original story, but uproarious in the musical. Imagine creating life and being horrified by it — truly, a parent’s worst nightmare!
Price: $15-20.
