[ARTS + CULTURE] The Undergraduate Theatre Society’s production of “Frankenstein” took its final bow Dec. 7, 2025, concluding the six-show run of a horrifying masterpiece.

Initially adapted from the 1818 novel by Mary Shelley, UTS’s “Frankenstein,” directed by fourth-year undergraduate Ryan St. Martin, follows the story of the creature (second-year Brennan Sandora), a human science experiment brought to life by the egotistically unhinged Dr. Victor Frankenstein (fourth-year Ty Kemple). As the creature is betrayed over and over by Dr. Frankenstein and other characters, he quickly becomes the dangerous monster his facade depicts, much to the horror of Victor’s fiancée, Elizabeth (second-year Rose Champion).

[OPINION] Katie Wilson took the oath of office to become the 58th mayor of Seattle on Jan. 2. Her inauguration followed a narrow victory in the November general election, where she ran on a platform of affordability, working-class interests, and making tangible progress on issues like homelessness, where previous administrations had failed.

Now, following her inauguration, it’s time to see how Wilson turns those promises into reality.
