CONWAY — There’s a mania spreading at the Majestic Theatre in Conway. A “Transylvania Mania,” that is. Symptoms include a desire to create monsters, put on the ritz and roll in the hay.
Arts in Motion Theater Co. is presenting Mel Brooks’ musical adaptation of his 1974 film “Young Frankenstein” at the Majestic on Friday, Saturday and Sunday for the next two weeks. It is one of the most ambitious productions the theater company has taken on, but they largely prove up to the challenge and deliver a hilarious rendition of Brooks’ loony, crass, but sincere, take on Mary Shelley’s “Frankenstein.”
