Photo Flash: First Look at Cent. Stage Co.'s DRACULA

Audiences and critics alike are raving over Bram Stoker's Dracula, written and directed by Charles Morey and running now through October 28 in the Lackland Performing Arts Center. Before Twilight and True Blood, only one vampire commanded "the children of the night." In this blood-thirsty tale of unholy terror, Count Dracula slips into Victorian London with a cargo of his native Transylvanian soil - so he can rest between victims. The city seems helpless against his frightful power, and only one man, Dr. Van Helsing, can stop the carnage. But to do this, he must uncover the vampire's lair and pierce his heart with a wooden stake.

Featuring a cast of professional actors from across the tri-state area, Dracula is directed by Charles Morey. Morey is a director, playwright and former artistic director with more than forty-five years' experience in the professional theatre and extensive credits from coast to coast. Performances for Dracula continue now through October 28. Specific performance dates are Fridays Oct. 19 and 26 at 8PM; Saturdays Oct. 20 and 27 at 8PM; Sundays Oct. 21 and 28 at 2PM; Wednesdays Oct. 17 and 24 at 2PMand Thursdays Oct. 18 and 25 at 7:30PM.
