Seating begins: 8 p.m. • Program: 8:45 p.m.

NOTE: This year we’re shifting our location to the top level of the Community Bookshelf Parking Garage, just across Baltimore Ave. from the Central Library. 

Mel Brooks delivers a classic comedy about the infamous scientist’s American grandson (Gene Wilder), who in seeking to redeem his family’s name – and its correct pronunciation – discovers the secret to reanimating the dead. Walk this way for a mix of terror and tap-dancing.
