Dracula: A Comedy of Terrors at hollingsworth hall cultural center

Just in time for Halloween, Roundtable Theatre Troupe presents Dracula: A Comedy of Terrors, a fast and funny take on Bram Stoker's classic vampire tale. Performances run October 22 through 25 at Hollingsworth Hall Cultural Center, 4228 Boston Ave. The show is written by Gordon Greenberg and Steve Rosen and directed by Oliver Folger.

The 90-minute comedy blends Stoker's gothic story with the zany spirit of Mel Brooks, Monty Python, and The 39 Steps. When Mina falls ill with a mysterious blood disease, her sister Lucy Westfeldt and Lucy's fiancé, Jonathan Harker, turn to the famed female vampire hunter Doctor Jean Van Helsing. Their hunt for the dangerous and seductive Count Dracula is packed with clever wordplay and quick-change antics, as five actors take on more than a dozen roles.

“You'll be screaming with laughter,” wrote BroadwayWorld critic Cindy Marcolina in a four-star review of the show's London production.

The cast features Roundtable Theatre Troupe members KeAsia Bogus, Noah Aguilar, Natalie Stanislaus, Kobie Jackson, and Savannah Roberson.
