The Scarsdale High School Drama Club is busy rehearsing for the upcoming performance of Young Frankenstein by Mel Brooks, scheduled for November 20-21 at SHS. The story follows Frederick Frankenstein as he obtains his family's estate in Transylvania. With the help of a hunchbacked sidekick, Igor, and a leggy assistant, Inga, Frederick finds himself in the mad scientist shoes of his ancestors. Fredrick brings to life a creature to rival his grandfather's. The monster escapes and hilarity continuously abounds.

On their way to the Frankenstein family castle, Fredrick (Dillon Orlando) and Inga (Caroline Donat) stumble over each other while preforming the musical number, Roll in the Hay.

This play is full of humor and music to keep the audience laughing the entire time. The show will be performed at the high school on November 20 and 21 at 7:30 and November 22 at 2:00. Tickets will be available here and at the door. All ages are welcome.
