PROGRAM BOOK

So hilarious, it’s scary! 
From the director of Piaf/Dietrich (fka The Angel and the Sparrow), Dracula, A Comedy of Terrors is a lightning-fast, laugh-out-loud, irreverent farce that combines classic horror fiction with all-out silliness and satire.  Five world-class actors nimbly tackle dozens of zany characters, in this exciting romp that is imaginatively staged and filled with magic and special effects. Dracula’s antics are guaranteed to raise your pulse as you emit blood-curdling screams — of laughter!

“A brisk, slick comedy. Greenberg and Rosen’s anything-goes script brims with cleverness, pop culture references, and nifty stage illusions. If you have a fondness for the broad humor of the 39 Steps take-off or the tongue-in-cheek mayhem of Charles Ludlum, Dracula, A Comedy of Terrors is your cup of giggles.” The Palm Beach Post

 

Please note that the Sunday matinees and Tuesday evenings will be masking mandatory to welcome patrons who may be more comfortable around others who are masked.

Lisa's Note    

“You’ve never seen Dracula like this before! Get ready for a good time, an escape from everyday life, and loads of laugh!”
