Throughout November, IU will be celebrating Native American Heritage Month with the help of First Nations Education and Culture Center. 

The month is centered on heritage and not history, but the two are almost always interconnected, FNECC director Nicky Belle said. Check out some of the events and read more about the month here.

“Frankenstein” all began as Mary Shelley's 1818 novel, and 200 years later the Cardinal Stage Company is presenting the classic as a staged production.

The show will premiere Oct. 27 to Nov. 5 at the Buskirk-Chumley Theater. Tickets start at $11.95. The play follows the story of Victor Frankenstein's creation, the Creature, as it attains consciousness, education and seeks happiness and a place in the world. 

However, Victor fears the Creature and thwarts his attempts to find acceptance and love. This ultimately leads the Creature on a path for revenge. Read more here.
