WHAT CAN MAKE THEM COME OUT OF THE CLOSET? IN THE CLOSET is directed by Cory Molner and features actors Clyde Simon, Jason Romer, Mike Frye and David Lenahan. IN THE CLOSET runs Thurs-Sat through Nov 4 at convergence-continuum’s Liminis Theater, 2438 Scranton Rd in Cleveland’s historic Tremont neighborhood.

With the help of a hunchbacked sidekick, Igor (pronounced "EYE-gore"), and a leggy lab assistant named Inga (pronounced normally!), Frederick finds himself in the mad scientist shoes of his ancestors. "It's alive!" he exclaims as he brings to life a creature to rival his grandfather's. Eventually, of course, the monster escapes and hilarity continuously abounds. With such memorable tunes as The Transylvania Mania, He Vas My Boyfriend, and Puttin' on the Ritz, Young Frankenstein is scientifically proven to be monstrously good entertainment!
