For eight years,
Collide Theatrical Dance Company has been
creating new dance musicals, either with original stories or based on classic works. Even the pandemic didn't stop them - they presented an
outdoor dance cabaret last fall when all of us were starved for live entertainment; produced a
Valentine's Day video dance piece; and returned to the outdoor stage this spring for a dance musical based on
Alice in Wonderland. Now they're back inside the best dance venue in town, the Southern Theater, for the premiere of their dance musical based not just on the well known 19th Century novel
Frankenstein, but also on the life of its lesser known author, Mary Shelley. Over 75 minutes of continuous dance, the seven-person ensemble tells these remarkable interconnected stories with great emotion and vitality.
