A live reading of Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein – Kalmanovitz Amphitheater

FRANKENREADS  – October 31, 2018, 9am-6pm @ University of San Francisco

Each of the 21 departments in the College of Arts and Sciences at USF will be reading one chapter from Frankenstein on Halloween; students, staff, and faculty are all encouraged to present their departmental pride by reading in creative ways. The president of USF school, Fr. Paul Fitzgerald, will kick off the event at 9 am by reading Mary Shelley’s Introduction to the 1831 version of the novel (in which Shelley traces the genesis of her book in 1816). Another “unique” feature of this day is that we will be reading / listening to the novel as a university community in our very own classical Greek amphitheater. Halloween treats provided all day!
