The Minot State University Summer Theatre is bringing “Young Frankenstein” to life for the first time on the Josh Duhamel Stage at the Amphitheater.

The 61st season kicks off on Wednesday, June 17, with the musical that follows the storyline of the Mel Brooks movie of the same name. The story follows Frederick Frankenstein, the grandson of the famous Dr. Victor Frankenstein, as he inherits the family’s estate in Transylvania. He lives up to his grandfather’s legacy when he reanimates the dead, which leads to comedic chaos.

Directed by Chad Gifford, the performances run June 17-22 and begin at 8:30 p.m.
