Welcome anyone who wishes to see what this unique book club is all about!
The Theatre-Goers Book Club's March 2025 play script review is
Young Frankenstein by Mel Brooks and Gene Wilder,
a parody of Mary Shelley's 1818 Gothic horror novel
and the classic film Frankenstein or The Modern Prometheus.
Respected medical lecturer Dr. Frederick Frankenstein learns that he has inherited his infamous grandfather's estate in Transylvania. Arriving at the castle, Dr. Frankenstein soon begins to recreate his grandfather's experiments with the help of servants Igor,
Inga and the fearsome Frau Blücher. After he creates his own monster, new complications ensue with the arrival of the doctor's fiancée......
Young Frankenstein is also being performed at the Gainesville Theatre Alliance (GTA) Ed Cabell Theatre. If you wish to attend as a group please order your
ticket for the performance on Sunday, 4/13 at gainesvilletheatrealliance.org.
Dinner will be offered at a local restaurant following the performance..

The Theatre-Goers Book Club, originally named the Playscript Readers Group, was formed in 2015 as an extension of the Cresswind Neighborhood Theatre.
In addition to the primary focus of reading and analyzing plays, the additional
element of attending a live performance at a local theatre is a great way to share
insights and appreciate all dimensions of the theatre experience.
What a great way to celebrate and support our local theatres!
