Frankenstein Brought To Audio Theater By Mount Vernon High

Mount Vernon High School presented Danielle Mohlman's "Frankenstein, Episode 1," a radio play adaptation of Mary Shelley's Frankenstein. They not only retold the classic tale of Victor Frankenstein and his creature but drew parallels with Mary Shelley's tragic life.
Mount Vernon High School has produced Frankenstein as a series of audio recordings
According to The Connection Newspapers, "Mount Vernon faced the challenge of online performance and overcame it by making the strong choice of using audio-only. The actors and techs had the audience feeling like they were following the characters as they ran from one place to the next and created emotion and depth without the physicality that can feel necessary to put on a performance." As per The Connection Newspapers, "Theatre is currently limited by COVID-19, but Mount Vernon was able to exceed the expectations of the audience by creating such a strong environment with every single aspect of the show. And there is more than just "Frankenstein, Episode 1." They left the story on a cliffhanger and will keep audiences entertained for a total of 7 episodes. Instead of binging a TV show or podcast, allow Mount Vernon to bring you back to the theatre and immerse you in the world of Mary Shelley with just a computer and a pair of headphones."

Greetings! Hi! I'm 8403 Boud Brook Lane.

8403 Bound Brook Ln

You can call me BeeBee for short! I am located within the only historic zip codes 22308 and 22309 belonging to the George Washington Estate, The Mount Vernon! I am happy to meet you! You came to the right home; you will love me and my neighborhood; they made my owners feel at home right away upon moving in. As for me, I made a lot of children happy. I made them beautiful memories that will last a lifetime. I used to have a pink treehouse and play area in the backyard. The little girls loved it, and the boys loved the pond with little koi's that they named. My owners dressed me with lots of improvements! I love how they added a Trex flooring deck, making it maintenance-free. It has 42 inches of railings, making it code-compliant. In the kitchen, I have newly installed stainless steel appliances. Furthermore, my glass tile backsplash is made of Elida Ceramica. Recently, carpeting has been installed in the upper bedrooms, and hardwood flooring downstairs, too. I have large bedrooms. The designs of the chandelier and other lighting fixtures are contemporary, Light fixtures in the deck are ready for your party celebrations. With a 75-inch TV mounted, you are really ready to party. I have fresh paint and new bathrooms also. I have large upper bedrooms and others in the basement. Even the electrical panel is new, and I am equipped with 220 power volts for an electric car or your new Tesla. Did I already tell you that I have a driveway for three cars? But wait, I also have a boat parking at the back! Nobody can beat that! My two fireplaces will keep you cozy during cold winter nights! And if you see my front yard during spring, you will love all my flowers! I have a wall of pink Camella, yellow daffodils, bursting colors of red, white, pink tulips, and purple Irises! You should see the blooms of my Royal Empress; it is a sight to behold! Shopping is within a mile, schools are within walking distance, and Mt Vernon Hospital is within 5 miles. Everything is conveniently located. Welcome home! You will love me, too, the way my previous owners did! [Riverside Estates - $790,000]
