Take Bram Stoker’s legendary vampire story and mix it up in the style of Mel Brooks and Monty Python. Then enjoy a lightning-fast, gender-bending comedy featuring lots of wordplay and six actors playing over a dozen roles. When her sister Mina is struck by a mysterious disease of the blood, Lucy Westfeldt and her fiancé enlist the help of famed female vampire hunter Doctor Jean Van Helsing. Could the answer lie with the dangerous — and seriously hot — Count Dracula? "Dracula: A Comedy of Terrors" is written by Gordon Greenberg and Steve Rosen, and directed by Caitlin Lawrence Papp.
Cast: Eddie Zhang, Maria Marquis, Doll Piccotto, Matt Regan, Nick Mandracchia and Javier de Guzman.
Understudies: Devin Guinee, Javier de Guzman, Sydney Harmon and Caitlin Lawrence Papp.
