The Footlight Club Presents Frankenstein

A tale of horror and suspense. Fridays and Saturdays through September 27.

Frankenstein opens at The Footlight Club on Friday, September 12 and runs on Fridays and Saturdays through September 27.

Frankenstein is a tale of horror and suspense adapted for the stage by Victor Gialanella from Mary Shelley’s classic horror novel. The story details the ill-fated experiments of young Dr. Frankenstein. In his attempt to fathom the secrets of life and death, he purchases cadavers from two unsavory grave robbers and gives life to a creature who is both hideous and touching and soon brings death and destruction.

Join us for an entertaining evening of thrills and chills as the monster assembled from parts of dead bodies develops a mind of his own and learns to loathe himself and his creator. Adam Siladi is Victor Frankenstein and Nathaniel Scott is The Creature, with Emma Lieberman, Mick O’Dea, Randal Divinski, Chris Gaskell, Paul Campbell, Deniz Khateri, Renne Miller, Troy Siegfried, Patrick O’Hanlon, and Jace Fuller
