Grandson of the
infamous Victor
Frankenstein, Frederick
Frankenstein
(pronounced "Fronk-ensteen") inherits his
family's estate in Transylvania. With the help of a
hunchbacked side-kick, Igor (pronounced "Eye-gore"),
and a leggy lab assistant, Inga (pronounced normally),
Frederick finds himself in the mad scientist shoes of his
ancestors. "It's alive!" he exclaims as he brings to life a
creature to rival his grandfather's. Eventually, of course,
the monster escapes and hilarity continuously abounds.

A hilarious high-octane
re-telling of
Shakespeare’s A
Midsummer Night’s
Dream set in modernday New Jersey. The
story revolves around
Directed
the impending wedding
by Donna
of the Governor, the
Covington
love affairs of four beach-bound high school crushes,
a crew of fairies, and the staff of the local salon. The
night takes a magical turn when Oberon and Puck
arrive on the scene ready for mischief making armed
with a powerful love potion. Who knows what will
happen in a show backed by pop music and including
an iPhone-obsessed wood sprite.
