University of Montana Presents DRACULA By William McNulty

The University of Montana is pleased to present WilLiam McNulty's Dracula, originally dramatized by John L. Balderston and Hamilton Deane from Bram Stoker's world-famous novel. Dracula runs in the Montana Theatre of the Performing Arts and Radio/Television Center on campus October 19-23 and 26-30, 2016.

This chilling adaptation of the famous Gothic novel reintroduces audiences to the urbane and calculating Count Dracula, his victims Mina and Lucy, and his foes Seward and Van Helsing. Dracula is an undeniably theatrical manifestation of the age-old battle between good and evil. Full of terror, eroticism, and heroics, the tale of the world's most legendary and cunning vampire and the humans fighting to destroy him promises to weave a haunting and bloody spell.

On Tuesday, October 18, don't be surprised to see Count Dracula skulking near the UM Continuing Education building or lurking around the American Red Cross Van in front of the Performing Arts & Radio/Television Center. The Missoula chapter of the American Red Cross will be on campus from 10:30 am-4:30 pm for a blood drive at Continuing Ed. Dracula will hand out coupons to any blood donor that will be good for $5 off a ticket to his show. Let's hope that's the only reason he'll be there!

For tickets to Dracula, call the UMArts Box Office at 406-243-4581, Tuesday-Friday from noon to 6:00 pm, or order tickets online at www.umt.edu/theatredance!
