Young Frankenstein

Sacramento's Runaway Stage Productions presents the classic story in a more intimate setting with exciting leads, striking sets and a great live orchestra. This community theater manages to breathe life and soul into the story and the big ol' lovable green lug. This production comes alive with funny lines, some clever song lyrics, talented musical actors, and creative costumes and sets. The gifted cast really delivers the goods: David Holmes is a very enthusiastic Frankenstein; Amy J. Jones is an enticing Inga; Eduard Arakelyan is the funny sidekick, Igor; Ruth Phillips is the fierce Frau Blücher; Jennifer Zimny is a funny, frigid fiancée; and Michael Cross is a most endearing Monster. F, Sa 8pm; Su 2pm. Through 1/26. $18-$25. Runaway Stage Productions at the 24th Street Theatre, 2791 24th St.; (916) 207-1226; www.runawaystage.com.
