It’s alive! Carolina Actors Studio Theatre has concocted an evening of entertainment by the horror of an unworthy scary creation with Monster. Based on Mary Shelley’s classic horror novel Frankenstein, the production — which was adapted by Neal Bell — aims to bring light to the stunning creation made by the mad scientist. Is that possible? How innocent can a half-dead lookin’ creature with bolts in his neck be? If I were him, I’d be pissed. Celebrate before Halloween, the day of or after as the monster-mash of a drama goes down through Nov. 15. $18-$22. Oct. 30-Nov. 15. Oct. 30, 31, 8 p.m.; Nov. 1, 6, 7, 8, 13, 14, 15, 8 p.m.; Nov. 2, 9, 2:30 p.m. Carolina Actors Studio Theatre, 1118 Clement Ave. 704-455-8542. www.nccast.com.
