The Theater Arts Department at Don Bosco Preparatory High School, one of North Jersey's largest private academic institutions, will present a chilling production of Frankenstein, based on the classic novel by Mary Shelley, on November 22nd, 23rd, & 24th. With an original script by Theater Program Director, Brooke DeBettignies, the play highlights the beautiful language of Mary Shelley's original text while bringing to life the intricate relationship between a creator and his creation.
