The Importance of Being Earnest, Kelsey Theatre
2 and 8pm Oscar Wilde at his very best! If you haven’t seen his favorite “trivial comedy for serious people,” you won’t want to miss this opportunity to join Shakespeare ‘70 for some high society fun. Presiding over the verbal merriment is Lady Bracknell, possibly the most comically domineering aunt in stage history. Ally and Jack try to be Earnest, while wooing Gwendolyn and Cecile, taking the play through some unlikely plot twists. By the way, if you have seen the show before, you will love the chance to renew acquaintance with those lively characters and the witty dialogue. PG

Young Frankenstein, Music Mountain Theatre
3 and 8pm It’s Alive! From the creators of Broadway‘s record-breaking musical comedy sensation, The Producers, comes Young Frankenstein, a monster of a hit musical based on Mel Brooks’ classic comedy film masterpiece. This wickedly inspired re-imagining of the legend of Frankenstein is the story of the bright young doctor Frankenstein (that's Fronkensteen) who travels to Transylvania to complete the masterwork of his grandfather by bringing a corpse to life. Young Frankenstein is a scientifically proven, monstrously good time at the theatre. ? Content Warning: Young Frankenstein contains mild language, suggestive humor, and innuendo consistent with Mel Brooks’ comedic style. Recommended for audiences ages 13 and up.
