Dr. Frederick Frankenstein (Scott Tomlinson) has succeeded in following in his famous ancestor’s footsteps by creating life in the laboratory. However, there does seem to be at least one critic (Dave Rama) to his achievement.
LEGAL NOTICE
Land Titles Act
It is almost Halloween. Scott Tomlinson and Dave Rama are both spending their free weekend time boning up on their dialogue and working on their dance steps so they can do a good job of bringing to life Dr. Frankens- tein and his Monster when the curtain rises later next month on the Russell Association of Performing Arts (RAPA) production of Young Frankenstein : The Musical. It’s not the first time the two local thes- pians have worked together.They were both part of last year’s production of «13», with Tomlinson playing in the band and Rama serving as the musical director. They were also both in «GeorgeWashington Slept Here» inminor roles.This time they’re in the spot- light as the two most important characters in Mel Brooks’ musical reimagination of the Mary Shelley classic tale of human and inhuman terror and temerity. «The challenge is balancing themusic and also the script,» said Tomlinson, who counts on his background as amusician to see him to success in presenting Dr. Frankenstein to the audience. «For me, getting the story across in a musical is easy.» Tomlinson smiles when he admits that the dance scenes, including the one featu- ring Dr. Frankenstein and his creation, might be a bit more problematic. «Yeeeah, the dancing’s okay.» At least he doesn’t have the same kind of footwork problem as Rama does. The five- foot-nine actor has to wear Boris Karloff-style size 13 boots with lifts to raise him to the six-foot-three height of the Monster. The first challenge was learning to walk in those boots. The good thing is he can settle for a
of playing these two classic monster movie characters has been fun from the start and an enjoyable addition to their amateur theatre portfolios. Tomlinson is suited to play the role of a scientist, even a mad one, since his real job is as an environmental scientist, specializing in contaminants, working for the federal government. There is a big gap between his last real acting role, as a robot in a Grade 5 school play, to when he joined RAPA a couple years ago. «I’mamusician, with a local band, Front End, so it’s not a really big stretch,» he said, smiling. «I’ve got a very outgoing persona- lity. I’ma natural ‘character’, or somy family tells me.» Rama is a director with Telus Health. He became part of RAPA thanks to another of his co-stars on Young Frankenstein, Kevin Kennedy, who plays Igor, the hunchbacked assistant to the mad doctor. Kennedy was involved in amurder mystery project which piqued Rama’s interest. «I used to do a lot of impro in middle school,» Rama said, «back at Emily Carr in Blackburn Hamlet.» Rama prefers doing comedy and when he auditioned for Young Frankenstein, he hoped to land either the part of theMonster or Igor. «I love comedy,» he said. «It’s fun to en- tertain people and make them laugh. It’s a wonderful release.» Young Frankenstein : The Musical goes on stage at the Russell High School gym theatre Nov. 25 to 28. Details on show times and tickets are at www.rapa.ca.
