The Seminole Theatre brings Mary Shelley's Frankenstein to the stage on Friday, October 16, and Saturday, October 17, with performances at 8 at night in the auditorium at 18 North Krome Avenue in downtown Homestead. Each evening opens at 7 with the Frankenstein La-BAR-atory, an immersive pre-show in the lobby with themed cocktails and live performances, before the show begins. The theater posts tickets on its website and at the box office.

An immersive pre-show sets the mood

The La-BAR-atory turns the theater lobby into part of the story. The themed cocktails and live performances give the classic novel a modern frame, and arriving by 7 means the evening has two acts: the pre-show downstairs and the play in the auditorium. It is a chance for older children and teens to experience a well-known story in a theatrical setting, and for adults to make a full night of downtown Homestead.

A classic story in a historic room

The Seminole Theatre anchors downtown Homestead, a restored historic hall that hosts live shows, concerts and films through the year. Seeing a play there is different from seeing one in a modern hall: the room itself carries the history. For families new to Homestead, the theater is one of the reasons downtown feels alive, and a weekend outing that starts with a show is a good way to learn the streets around Krome Avenue.
