Check out the Port Theatre’s Spotlight Series presentation of Frankenstein, produced by Ballet Victoria! Star Sponsor: RLR Lawyers.

“An original zombie ballet — where Frankenstein’s ‘creature’ meets Giselle’s ‘willies’…Inspired by the romantic classical ballet, Giselle, this ballet blends the dark elements of the gothic tale of eternal life and resurrection with the beauty and tragedy of a love story born in death.” – Port Theatre website

We’ll have a community booth at the event, and our General Manager Sophia Maher is going to be a judge for the Costume Contest they are hosting that evening!  Learn more on the Port Theatre website here: https://www.porttheatre.com/event/spotlight-frankenstein/
