ABOUT THE SHOW

 

Steven Dietz breathes new life into Bram Stoker's legendary tale, trading campy tropes for a visceral, wickedly smart exploration of horror and desire. As a dark power descends upon London, a group of unlikely heroes, led by the obsessive Van Helsing, must race again time to stop a master of the night who is both debonair and violent. Rich with both humor and horror, this is a Dracula that is heartbreaking, heart-pounding and truly haunting.

**This is a dark and dramatic production that involves adult situations and themes, including close, intimate and sometimes skin-to-skin physical contact throughout the show. It is the intention of the director and the creative team to stage this play as closely as possible to the way it is scripted, so as to maintain the intensity of the material and the integrity of the play as written by Mr. Dietz. Please take this into consideration when making your decision to audition.**

 

**Intimacy coordination and safety measures will be provided throughout the course of the rehearsal process in order to create an environment where actors are safe and secure throughout the duration of this production.**

​

Rehearsals will begin Monday, Aug. 24, and follow a general schedule of Sunday through Thursday from 6:30 to 9:30 p.m. Actors should review the rehearsal and performance schedule, and make note of any conflicts that they have at auditions when they fill out their audition forms. Some conflicts will be allowed with rehearsals, but we ask that you please prioritize this show to the extent possible. No conflicts will be allowed during the final week of rehearsals or during performances.
