Louisville Ballet: Frankenstein

Louisville Ballet is staging a fresh take on Mary Shelley's classic gothic tale, timed perfectly for Halloween weekend. This production brings the story to life through dance, diving into the emotional complexity of Dr. Frankenstein's creation. Rather than simply retelling a tale of horror, this interpretation examines deeper themes—exploring questions of humanity, abandonment, and what it truly means to be a monster. It's a moving and thought-provoking show that goes beyond the surface of the familiar story. The performance runs at the W.L. Lyons Brown Theatre with multiple showtimes available. This is a great outing for families who enjoy ballet, theater, or a more artistic take on a classic story. Children who appreciate dance or are old enough to engage with the psychological themes will find it engaging. Tickets are available for purchase, and you can find more details about showtimes and pricing on the event website.
