A BRAND NEW ADAPTATION OF “DRACULA”
OPENS OCTOBER 16 AT SCHENECTADY CIVIC PLAYERS

Just in time for the Halloween season, Steven Dietz’s Dracula, directed by Jeffrey Scott, opens Friday, October 16. and runs through Sunday, October 25 at Schenectady Civic Players’ 12 South Church Street playhouse in Schenectady’s historic Stockade district.

Playwright Dietz’s new adaptation, first published in 1996, restores the suspense and seduction of Bram Stoker’s classic novel. As Count Dracula begins to exert his will upon the residents of London, they try to piece together the clues of his appearances – in a valiant attempt to save themselves from a hideous fate. Rich with both humor and horror, the play paints a wickedly theatrical picture of Stoker’s famous vampire.

The Civic Player’s cast features Randy McConnach (as Dracula), Mark Todaro (as Renfield), Meigg Jupin (as Mina), Jennifer Lefsyk (as Lucy), Keith Coombs (as Jonathan Harker), Rocky Bonsal (as Van Helsing),Theo Carbone (as Dr. Seward), and an ensemble of, Alaaldeen Shehadeh,Amanda Charlebois, Lita Benson, and Kaylynn Lawson. 

Dracula plays Friday, Saturday and Sunday (October 16, 17, & 18 ) and Wednesday through Sunday (Oct. 21 through 25). Wednesday and Thursday curtains are at 7:30 pm; Fridays and Saturdays at 8 pm; and Sundays are matinees only at 2:30 pm. 

Tickets, $17. Order in person at, or by phone through, Proctors box office 346-6204. Order tickets on-line at www.civicplayers.org Or call the Playhouse 382-2081.
