DRACULA, THE VAMPIRE STRIKES BACK Set for St. Petersburg City Theatre

St. Petersburg City Theatre is putting the fun into fundraiser with a cheeky adaption of an "Oh, so British" Pantomime, or Panto. Dracula is on the loose in London hunting for the keys to Vlad the Impaler's treasure with Sapphi the vampire slayer in hot pursuit. Coco Van Helsing and Lucy Lastic are not far behind. When they all meet up in Transylvania raucous chaos ensues. Music, outrageous comedy and audience participation...come see what the rowdy fun is all about.

Written by Thomas Ribbits and Tim Saward and directed by David Middleton, Dracula, The Vampire Strikes Back, is styled after a traditional British form of entertainment known as Panto. The performances always feature stock characters, drag comedy, double-entendre, outrageous puns, corny jokes, musical numbers, and lots of noisy audience participation.

Fun for the whole family. Audience members are encouraged to get into the Halloween spirit and dress in costume. This is a fundraiser for City Theatre.
