Young Frankenstein

Admission is free on a first come first served basis. The theater will open at 1:00pm with the film beginning at 2:00pm.

Comedy icons Gene Wilder, Peter Boyle, Cloris Leachman, Marty Feldman, Teri Garr and Madeline Kahn star in Mel Brooks’ brilliantly outrageous riff on Mary Shelley’s classic story Frankenstein. After inheriting his grandfather’s castle in Transylvania, young Dr. Frankenstein (Wilder) follows his ancestor’s freaky footsteps as he sets out to reanimate a dead body in Brooks’ iconic comedy.

Frankenreads is a project of the Keats-Shelley Association of America, funded by a Chairman’s grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities, to celebrate the 200th anniversary of Mary Shelley’s novel Frankenstein, or The Modern Prometheus (1818) by encouraging people around the world to organize or participate in events celebrating the novel.

FrankenReads is cosponsored by the Friends of the Beaumont Public Library System.
