FRANKENSTEIN

Los Angeles Mission College Theatre Arts will present Frankenstein, an original adaptation of the classic novel, for its spring production.

Frankenstein will be presented from May 16-25, 2025 in the LA Mission College AMP Theater. Tickets range from $10-25 and will be on sale starting on April 14.

Following in the footsteps of previous shows like She Who Was No More and Mr. Grieves and The Vampires, LA Mission College Theatre continues its focus on creating original work with Frankenstein. In this new adaptation of Mary Shelley’s classic 1818 novel, Professor Robert Cucuzza and a team of students, instructors, and guest artists collaborate to create a theatrical event that pulls one of the original science fiction stories into 2025.

Spring 2025 will bring the fourth edition of Vox Pop, our exciting new student-centered performance festival.​

​

Macbeth — Our 90-minute adaptation of Shakespeare's classic tale of murderous ambition was one of four productions selected from hundreds to be presented at the 2024 Kennedy Center American College Theatre Festival in Glendale, CA. 

​

Mr. Grieves and The Vampires — This original production collaged the 1915 silent film serial, Les Vampires, and the classic Pixies album, "Doolittle," into a lightening-fast punk-inspired tale of an intrepid journalist who goes to perilous lengths to bring down the brutal anarchist crime syndicate, The Vampires.

​

She Who Was No More — An original stage adaptation of the 1954 French thriller novel of the same name, and the inspiration for the film classic, Diabolique. Six actors play dozens of roles on a minimalist set, evoking a lurid world of murder, deception, and madness.

LETTERS FROM CUBA

Based on three decades of letters that Fornés received from her brother in Havana, Letters From Cuba drifts between Cuba and New York City, spanning a decade across the turn into the 21st century. On a two-story set designed by guest artist Dorothy Hoover—with ladders, windows, doors, hallways, and a fire escape—Cuba hovers above a cramped New York apartment where three young artists—Fran, Joseph, and Marc—bob-and-weave, their hearts afire with poetry, music, dance, and longing. Above them, Luis struggles under a Communist regime, desperate to reunite with his sister while inextricably tied to home.

​

Letters From Cuba was presented in the AMP Theater from November 15-24, 2024.
