⚡️ Let’s Meet the Characters of Young Frankenstein! ⚡️

And finally… the wildly talented ensemble that helps bring all the madness of Transylvania to life.

🖤 The Ensemble
From suspicious villagers and dancing party guests to angry townspeople, laboratory assistants, and spooky castle characters, the ensemble is at the heart of Young Frankenstein. These performers help create the world of the show, fill the stage with energy, and bring some of the biggest musical and comedic moments to life.

The ensemble in Young Frankenstein is not just background—they are featured throughout the entire show with plenty of opportunities for singing, dancing, character work, and scene-stealing moments. Whether you love comedy, physical acting, spooky villagers, or huge musical numbers, there is a place for everyone in this cast.

Auditions for Young Frankenstein are Monday, May 11 and Tuesday, May 12 from 6:30–9:00 PM at Elmira Little Theatre.

Performances are August 14, 15, and 16, 2026 at the Powers Theater at the Clemens Center.

⚡️ Let’s Meet the Characters of Young Frankenstein! ⚡️

Next up… two of the most unforgettable characters in all of Transylvania.

🕯️ The Blind Hermit
Warm, kind, and hilariously unaware of the chaos around him, the Blind Hermit takes in the Monster and tries to show him friendship and compassion. Unfortunately, things do not exactly go as planned. This role is packed with physical comedy, heart, and one of the funniest scenes in the show.

👮 Inspector Kemp
The one-armed, very dramatic Inspector Kemp is determined to protect the villagers from the Monster at all costs. Loud, serious, and completely over-the-top, Kemp is a role full of hilarious physical comedy, larger-than-life reactions, and unforgettable moments.

Both of these characters may have smaller stage time, but they leave a huge impression and are perfect for performers who love comedy and character work.

Auditions for Young Frankenstein are Monday, May 11 and Tuesday, May 12 from 6:30–9:00 PM at Elmira Little Theatre.

Performances are August 14, 15, and 16, 2026 at the Powers Theater at the Clemens Center.

Get ready… it’s alive! 🖤⚡️
