For years, the Bud Frank Theatre was the site of many performances and productions at East Tennessee State University, and it will continue to be a hub for the arts with the new “Cinema at the Bud Frank Theatre.”

All events are free and open to the public this semester as part of a soft launch, though an admission fee will likely be charged as the program grows and additional films become available.

Cinema-quality equipment is now part of the experience.

“Frankenstein,” a National Theatre Live performance, will screen on Sunday, Nov. 5.
