Frankenstein of Cripple Creek, written by Chris Sorensen, is a retelling of the Frankenstein story set in Cripple Creek’s wild past.

Doc Frankenstein is a mysterious figure with a secretive past.  He huddles up in his cabin in the hills trying to unlock the secrets of life and death.  Helping him with his creepy experiments is Hard Knock Nell, a rough and tumble mountain woman with a taste for whiskey. Just as Doc’s experiments are coming to fruition, his blind niece Mary stumbles back into his life, having searched and searched for him. Mary also stumbles into the arms of James Calder, a man she grew up with as a child. But their romance is not to be. Upon learning that Doc’s cabin sits atop a rich gold vein, the evil Sheriff Bowers determines to wrestle the land out from under the doctor. When James stands in his way, Bowers does him in. Horrified at James’s death, Doc Frankenstein uses his equipment to bring his niece’s love back to life. But, at what price? Frankenstein of Cripple Creek is a Halloween show filled with comedy and song, thrills and chills, action and romance. And to top it off, the show ends with the popular Halloween Olio.
