   Did you know?

    In honor of Halloween that was just celebrated, Frankenstein was not a Monster.

       In both the 1818 novel (Frankenstein, or the Modern Prometheus, written by Mary Shelley at age eighteen) and the 1931 movie (Frankenstein starring Boris Karloff), Frankenstein is the name of Victor Frankenstein, a student of natural psychology, who creates the monster. In the novel, Frankenstein names his monster Adam. In the movie, the monster goes unnamed.

And now you know!

November 7-11th - All My Sons by Arthur Miller – Harrisonburg
The country is at war and young pilot Larry Keller is down and missing. Only his mother believes he is still alive. The details of his supposed crash and the explanation for its occurrence unfold and reveal shocking and disturbing facts about the Keller family, their business and their world.
Written in 1947 and inspired by a true story, Arthur Miller's play has haunting resonance and pertinence today.
"All My Sons" received the New York Drama Critic's Circle Award and a Tony Award for Best Play when Elia Kazan directed it on Broadway. Its direct address of wartime ethics, American ideals and conscience contributed to Miller's being subpoenaed to testify before the House Committee on UnAmerican Activities.
