DRACULA: A Comedy of Terrors at Maltz Jupiter Theatre

Buckle up for laughs and fangs with "Dracula: A Comedy of Terrors"! This fast-paced, 90-minute romp is a hilarious send-up of Bram Stoker's classic gothic horror tale.

Forget the brooding Count Dracula – here, he's a slightly immature vampire smitten with a picture of Lucy Westfeldt, a vivacious scientist. Jonathan Harker, Lucy's fiancé, becomes the unwitting pawn in Dracula's quest for love, venturing to his crumbling Transylvanian castle. Meanwhile, Lucy's sister Mina falls mysteriously ill, prompting the arrival of the whip-cracking vampire hunter Dr. Jean Van Helsing (played by a woman in this gender-bending twist!).

The play is a whirlwind of quick-change antics, witty wordplay, and pop-culture references. Imagine a madcap chase with a cast of just five actors playing over a dozen roles! Expect to laugh out loud at Dracula's existential crisis and the bumbling attempts of those trying to stop him.
