About the Play: Based on Bram Stoker's famous novel, Dracula is the classic Gothic drama that explores the power of seduction and the nature of true love. When the mysterious Count Dracula (Leif Norby) becomes interested in the beautiful young Lucy Seward (Kylie Jenifer Rose), she begins to suffer from terrifying dreams and strange illnesses. This raises suspicions among her fiancé, Jonathan Harker (Noah Rich), Lucy’s father, Dr. Seward (Jeremy Southard), and Professor Abraham Van Helsing (Norman Wilson). After a series of gruesome murders and unexplained events, these men fear Dracula may be among the undead, stalking the darkness and preying on innocent souls.
