Why it matters

The House of Frankenstein" marks the directorial debut for David Cripe with the Dixon Community Theater, a volunteer-run 501(c)3 nonprofit organization dedicated to providing access to the performing arts in the local community. The play promises to be a highly entertaining blend of comedy and horror that will appeal to a wide audience.

The details

In the play, the bored Baron Victor Von Frankenstein has turned his attention from giving life to the lifeless to curing the supposedly incurable. In his grim castle in the Carpathian Mountains, he and his wife Elisabeth, the hunchback Ygor, the Valkyrian Frau Lurker, and the Monster host various mysterious and menacing visitors who come to beg the Baron to rid them of their vices. However, this challenge proves to be more of a living nightmare than a welcome diversion for the headstrong young scientist.

• The show will run for two weekends, with performances on Fridays and Saturdays at 7:00 pm and Sunday matinees at 2:00 pm.
