It’s that time of year for thrills and chills at the Denair Gaslight Theater! The Gaslight will bring the classic play, “Dracula of Transylvania,” to the stage for your Halloween enjoyment! This dramatization version of Dracula made its world premiere in 2013. It’s very exciting to be involved with this production as the family of Bram Stoker, the creator of Dracula, had direct collaboration on the screen play written by Christopher Cook.

“It’s October, the best month for a horror show!” stated Luke Gonzales, who plays Jonathan Harker. Luke returns to our stage after a fourteen year hiatus and is happy to be back.

Opening night is Friday, October 20, 2017, at 7:00! Show dates are October 20-21 and 27-28, at 7:00 pm. There will be a Sunday matinee on October 22, at 2:00 pm. Tickets are available online at www.showtix4u.com and at the door. General admission is $10, seniors and students are $8.

The director and cast have worked diligently to make this a classic production you won’t soon forget”, Stonebarger added.

The cast is made up of seasoned actors as well as individuals taking to the stage for the first time. Lenora Gomes, who portrays Lady Bracknell, is checking one more item off her bucket list. “Now is the time, and the Gaslight Theater is the perfect place. I am enjoying every minute!” Gomes commented. Sophie Kanabuy is no stranger to the Gaslight theater stage. She has performed in A Christmas Carol, End Game, and The Night No One Died. Sophie stated, “I’m allowed to push myself to find the character, and I love that!”

The cast is made up of 6 individuals, all of which would love to see you come out and see how they have developed their characters.
