Saw this with my class at the time. We saw Frankenstein, and it was absolutely phenomenal in every way. All but a few of the actors seem like they were trying their best, and that best was DAAAAAMMMNN good. Victor Frankenstein and The Creation acted the best of them all, and really ignited my interest. Started out sleepy and expecting trash, came out with my passion for theater ignited and my absolute attention grabbed

The original Varsity Theater has been restored and is now a nicely-maintained performing arts center and small art gallery. The performances are often bargain-priced and the gallery is free. Carbondale is fortunate to have this gem.

We were at the Varsity Center last week on a beautiful Sunday for a poetry reading benefit event. So nice to be in the historic building with state of the art air conditioning!
