Frankenstein Alive in Concert
South Bay Wind Ensemble is thrilled to begin our 2023/2024 season with “Frankenstein: Alive in Concert” on October 28. The classic 1931 film has sound and dialog, but no music. So now, South Bay Winds are providing the music with a 2002 score by composer Michael Shapiro.
We are also featuring another 1931 classic—the Warner Grand Theatre itself! Both “Frankenstein” and the Warner Grand were introduced to Los Angeles in 1931. And we celebrate that history with a medley of Warner Bros. movie favorites from the 1930s to today, with a special slideshow highlighting the history of the Warner Grand, provided by Grand Vision Foundation!
Tickets are on sale now. This is one Halloween celebration you won’t want to miss! Presented in collaboration with the Grand Vision Foundation.

About Carrie The Musical
Carrie White is a teenage outcast who longs to fit in. At school, she’s bullied by the popular crowd, and virtually invisible to everyone else. At home, she’s controlled by her loving but cruelly dictating mother. What none of them know is that Carrie’s just discovered she’s got a special power, and if pushed too far, she’s not afraid to use it.
