What a monstrously good run! ⚡ After six SOLD-OUT weekends, Young Frankenstein has been one for the books at Aurora.

As we celebrate this incredible production and the audiences who packed the house week after week, we wanted to share a few words from the woman who brought it all to life — director Laurie Guajardo:

“At its core, Young Frankenstein explores identity, acceptance and the pursuit of one’s dreams. As the director of this production, I am proud to say, ‘I am a Frankenstein!’ Our production team was thrilled to bring this hilarious and monstrous tale to life at Aurora. It was a wild and outrageous journey filled with laughter, heart, and a touch of the macabre.

I extend my heartfelt gratitude to Mary Chapa, Dylan Rios, the cast, crew, and creative team for their dedication. Together, we caught lightning in a bottle.

Lastly, I thank you, our cherished audience, for your loyal presence and overwhelming support for live theatre.”

— Laurie Guajardo, Director

Dolly Parton and Tim Curry ♥️

From film to the stage and everything in between, thank you for a lifetime of inspiration. Your influence will live on in dressing rooms and on stages everywhere... in the rhinestones, the courage to be a wild and untamed thing, and the permission you gave generations of us to be exactly as much as we are.

We love you.
