Sold-out 'Frankenstein' is 'not your average puppet show'

Like the electric bolts that shocked his monster alive, Atlanta is abuzz about “Frankenstein” at Theater Emory. Directed by Jon Ludwig of the Center for Puppetry Arts, the production was a unique opportunity for students to work with puppet masters and learn skills for their post-collegiate theatrical careers.
Ludwig reflects on the sold-out shows Feb. 18-27: “Not your average puppet show. This one was a monster. It was big. It was bad and it broke all preconceived notions of what a puppet show is like. Fueled by intense live music, surround sound and scenery, voodoo and one huge monster, this production rocked sold-out houses.”
“‘Frankenstein’ was a testament to the creative energy and teamwork of Theater Emory,” Ludwig adds.
