(October 9, 2013, Springfield Township - Hamilton County, OH) The Springfield Township Arts and Enrichment Council brings its fifth dinner theater attraction to life with Halloween icon, Frankenstein on center stage at The Grove Banquet and Event Center.

 

New Edgecliff Theater will be presenting playwright Catie O'Keefe's retelling of Mary Shelley's classic monster tale as an old-time radio broadcast. The audience is immersed in a true radio theater experience with live sound effects created by Mike Martini of WMKV.
