Arvada Center Stakes Patriarchy With DRACULA: A FEMINIST REVENGE FANTASY
Directed by Carolyn Howarth, Dracula opens September 27 in the Black Box Theatre.
The Arvada Center for the Arts & Humanities 2024-2025 Theatre Season continues with a horror play that gleefully puts a stake through the heart of the patriarchy itself.
Kate Hamill's Dracula: A Feminist Revenge Fantasy is a funny yet gory feminist new take on Bram Stoker's Victorian vampire story. Directed by Carolyn Howarth, Dracula opens September 27 in the Black Box Theatre.
This production is underwritten by Diana and Mike Kinsey. The Artistic Director for the Arvada Center is Lynne Collins.
“No matter where you fall on the ‘I love vampires' or ‘I hate vampires' meter, I think you're gonna dig this adaptation,” said Director Carolyn Howarth. “It's funny AND scary. It surprises. And this feels like exactly the right moment for this particular twist on this particular classic. Couched in the form of a horror story, it really is so much more. It might even be a call to action.”
The Arvada Center production is directed by Carolyn Howarth, with costume design by Clare Henkel and sound design by Jason Ducat. The cast includes returning Arvada Center favorites like Jessica Austgen, Noelia Antweiler, Geoffrey Kent, and Gareth Saxe. A full cast and creative crew list is below.
