THE HOUSE OF DRACULA
Xenia Area Community Theatre
Oct. 23-31
Xenia

Directed by Tony Copper

Cast: Patrick Taylor as Baron Von Frankenstein, Olivia Ekler as Baroness Von Frankenstein, Joe DeTore as Ygor, Jenn Sparks as Frau Lurker, Nathan Russell as Harry Talbot, Lori Grissom as Isabel Channing, Christian Yates as Count Dracula, Kylee Pauley as Countess Dracula, Mike Frazier as The Doctor, Celeste Kuba as Ethel, Jim Buckner as Groat & Ka-Seet & Harry Wayne Shepard as the Spectre & the Creature:

This clever spin off of The House of Frankenstein finds the Baron, Baroness and their repulsive retainers, Igor and Frau Lurker, going to stay at a macabre Transylvania fortress. Excitement turns to terror when they are greeted by more than a few of their mortal (and immortal) enemies. They are to take part in an unholy survival test involving ghouls, ghosts and the fiendish Dr. Jekyll. The Frankensteins flee from cellar to attic, desperate to escape a fate worse than death!
