Description:

Theatre announces auditions for "Dracula" play. In search of cast. Please see the breakdown below. About the project: SYNOPSIS: A tale long-seeped into the popular consciousness, with a fresh focus. An real estate transaction goes terrifyingly wrong. An asylum patient speaks truths no one will listen to. One woman despairs at ever seeing her fiance again, while another woman grows paler and sicker by the day. A desperate doctor reaches out to an old friend to help solve a mysterious illness, but people keep disappearing and turning up dead. Dracula is coming, but first… you have to invite him in. The underlying anxieties of the novel – fear of female sexuality, treatment of the mentally ill, lurking same-sex attraction between men, and uncomfortable relationships with the working-class – are brought to the forefront in this sharp adaptation.

Performers must be 18 years of age and older. CALLBACKS: Wednesday, September 4th, 6:30 pm-10:00 pm. Rehearsals will begin the week of September 15th.
