University students to perform ‘Frankenstein’
The Waynesburg University Players will present “Frankenstein,” Wednesday, Nov. 4, through Saturday, Nov. 7, at 7:30 each evening in the Goodwin Performing Arts Center on the campus of Waynesburg University.
“Frankenstein,” is adapted by Victor Gialanella from the classic novel by Mary Shelley, and is produced through special arrangement with Dramatists Play Service.
Set in 19th century Switzerland, the story revolves around the experiments of Dr. Victor Frankenstein as he tries to comprehend the secrets of life and death.
Frankenstein has a desire to make a life that is good and beautiful, but in his attempt to be Creator, his “invention” brings about death and destruction.
“I felt that our actors, as well as our technical crew, would have an enjoyable and challenging time putting the show together,” said Edward Powers, director of the theater program and professor of theater at Waynesburg University.
“Technically, we are going to be trying some things we haven’t done in quite a while. The actors are being challenged with some very demanding roles.”
Admission is free, and the public is cordially invited to attend. Reservations are suggested.
Because of some intense scenes, this show is not recommended for young children.
