Magenta Theater presents “I Am Frankenstein”

Magenta Theater presents “I Am Frankenstein,” playing Oct. 3-19 at 1108 Main St., Vancouver. Showtimes are 7:30 p.m. Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays with matinee showings at 2 p.m. Sundays. A retelling of Mary Shelley’s classic novel, the play adds two principal characters: a haunting chorus known as The Blackbirds, and the troubled Shelley herself. The story follows Victor, a promising student obsessed with alchemy who reanimates human life in the basement laboratory of a vacationing professor, only to abandon his creature and allow it to slowly exact revenge. Tickets are $26 at magentatheater.com or at the door as inventory permits. For more information, call 360-949-3098 or email in**@************er.com.
