Dracula - A Comedy of Horrors
by Gordon Greenberg and Steve Rosen

The play is a hilarious twist on the classic gothic tale. In a fast-paced, side-splitting farce, Count Dracula's reign of terror turns into a whirlwind of mistaken identities, outrageous misunderstandings, and slapstick humor. With only a few actors playing multiple roles, you witness zany transformations and absurd situations that reimagine Bram Stoker’s vampire legend as a laugh-out-loud comedy.

Weaver’s production of Dracula - A comedy of Terrors, directed by Keith Taylor, won the following four NCTC awards:

Excellence in Production Design
Excellence for Ensemble in Acting
Excellence in Stage Management - Camryn Stone
Outstanding Achievement in Acting - Lilly Leach

Congratulations to all! [Full program cast list to come]
