THE PASSION OF DRACULA runs Oct. 19-27

THE PASSION OF DRACULA
Presented by Beechmont Players Inc.
Oct. 19-27
Anderson Township

Directed by Laura Boggs
Produced by Tom Bergquist

Cast: Alan Harland as Dracula, Mark Metzner as Dr. Cedric Seward, Bryce Willson as Jameson, David Bialik as Professor Van Helsing, Darcy Little as Dr. Helga Van Zandt, Vern Burns as Lord Godalming, Loren Muzzy as Mr. Renfield, Merritt Beischel as Wilhelmina Murray & Aaron Maas as Jonathan Harker

This new take on the Dracula legend earns rave reviews due to its artful mixture of romance, classic gothic drama and, at times, nearly farcical comedy. It’s 1911 in the English countryside, site of the ominous Whitby Sanatorium. Several villagers have died mysteriously after the arrival of a reclusive foreigner. Coincidence? According to the notable scientist Dr. Van Helsing, Count Dracula is a threat to humanity and must be destroyed! Follow Van Helsing and his compatriots as they battle the powerful vampire to keep him from stealing the soul of the lovely heroine.
