Previews: DRACULA: A COMEDY OF TERRORS at Roxy's Downtown

Roxy’s Downtown is thrilled to present the regional premiere of Dracula: A Comedy of Terrors, a 90-minute comedic reimagining of the gothic classic, opening on Wednesday, September 25. The play was first commissioned by the Maltz Jupiter Theatre in Florida and premiered off-Broadway at New World Stages in September 2023.

In the treacherous mountains of Transylvania, a meek English real estate agent takes a harrowing journey to meet a new and mysterious client, who also just happens to be the most terrifying and ferocious monster the world has ever known: Count Dracula. As famed female vampire hunter Jean Van Helsing and company chase Dracula from Transylvania to the British countryside to London and back, their antics are guaranteed to increase your pulse and cause bloodcurdling screams—of laughter.

Dracula: A Comedy of Terrors features Nick Albrecht as “Mina, Van Helsing, and others,” Cadence LeBoeuf as “Harker and others,” Madison Laughlin as “Lucy and others,” Megan Parsley as Dr. Westfeldt, Renfield, and others, and Zeke Thompson as “Dracula.” The creative team for Dracula: A Comedy of Terror includes: Rick Bumgardner (Director), J Branson (Scenic Design), Arthur Reese (Lighting Design), Jason Huffman (Sound Design), Chadwick Armstrong (Costume Design), and Tracy Ciambra (Property Design).
