The Chicago Mammals to Present ALL GIRL DRACULA This Fall
The Chicago Mammals invite you in to experience the fourth iteration in the All Girl Project - ALL GIRL DRACULA - slated to open October 2015.
With the ALL GIRL PROJECT, the Chicago Mammals are committed to creating extreme and unique opportunities for Chicago actresses to play roles that are rarely if ever performed by women.
In this exciting adaptation of the 1897 novel by Bram Stoker, Artistic Director Bob Fisher has turned the classic vampire story on it's head- creating a narrative unlike any modern audiences have experienced before. Fisher and a company of tantalizing actresses are thrilled to present a twist on the classic vampiric tale just in time for Halloween.
Mina Murray is caught between a Carnivorous Ancient Evil and an Uncompromising Sadistic Zealot. Both Dracula and Van Helsing yearn for violence, even if their appetites are spurned by opposing goals. How will Mina Murray survive? As she tries to protect the people she loves, will she be forced to decide which of these powerful villains is the lesser of two evils?
The cast features Sarah Koerner* (Dracula), Erin Elizabeth Orr* (Abraham Van Helsing), Amy E. Harmon (Jonathan Harker), Whitney LaMora* (Mina Murray), Anne Wilson* (Dr. Jack Seward), Sasha Warren* (Lucy Westenra) and Kelly Yacono (The Giggle Girl, Bride of Dracula).

Many of the actresses appearing are not strangers to The Chicago Mammals' All Girl Projects. Previous audience members will remember Koerner, Harmon and Orr from the 2012 debut All Girl production ALL GIRL MOBY DICK. All three returned to the stage with additions of LaMora and Warren for 2013's ALL GIRL FRANKENSTEIN, and we witnessed all cast members on stage for 2014's ALL GIRL EDGAR ALLAN POE.
This will be the debut production in The Chicago Mammals' new space at 4001 N Ravenswood Suite B-3. A haunting descent into the Mammals' roots and the belly of the Ravenswood building will set the mood for this all-encompassing tale.
