Dracula

This play was so well-written, with a lot of timely focus on the nature of evil and the strength of the women. There was a quite a bit of room for character exploration including motivations, emotions and ethics. Our cast could really sink their teeth into this production and found plenty of opportunities for emotional exploration and physicality. I was very impressed with key lines that really highlighted the presence of evil in all of us, but the human capacity to rise above it. Mina's character is not helpless and calls us all to be better and do better in the face of overwhelming opposition.

There are so many scripts for Dracula out there. I really wanted to find one with a large cast, strong female characters, and less male characters. Laramie Dean's script did all these things.

The kids had a great time rehearsing and performing the play. We had a spectacular weekend of shows and the audience loved it!
