Leading Up to Halloween, SRO Theatre Brings DRACULA to the Stage This October

As the autumn season creeps toward the chills and thrills of Halloween, Standing Room Only (SRO) Theatre presents Steven Dietz's chilling take on Bram Stoker's Dracula.

This adaptation restores the suspense and seduction of Bram Stoker's classic novel to the stage. As Count Dracula begins to exert his will upon the residents of London, they try to piece together the clues of his appearances in a valiant attempt to save themselves from a hideous fate.

Rich with humor and horror, this play paints a wickedly theatrical picture of Stoker's famous vampire with actor Travis Horseman in the lead role. "Dracula" is directed by SRO Artistic Director Dee Shepherd.

Show times: 8 p.m. Friday, October 7; 8 p.m. Saturday, October 8; 2 p.m. Sunday, October 9; 10:30 a.m. and 8 p.m. Friday, October 14; 8 p.m. Saturday, October 15; 2 p.m. Sunday, October 16.

Tickets are $20 adults, $18 senior citizens and $12 students. Tickets can be purchased online at www.srotheatre.org or group discounts for 10 or more at (614) 427-3324.

The production will be staged in the Shedd Theatre, Columbus Performing Arts Center, 549 Franklin Ave., Columbus.
