Dracula: A comedy of Terrors by GORDON GREENBERG and STEVE ROSEN, Directed by Eric Yazell
“Sexy and campy with non-stop hilarity... you don’t want to miss this!” – Forbes
Ever wondered what would happen if you took Bram Stoker’s legendary vampire tale and put it into a blender with Mel Brooks, Monty Python, and The 39 Steps? DRACULA, A Comedy of Terrors is a Bram-new comedy you can really sink your teeth into. Filled with clever wordplay and anything-goes pop culture references, it’s a 90-minute, gender-bending, quick-changing, laugh-out-loud reimagining of the gothic classic, perfect for audiences of all blood types!
“Over-the-top and bloody hilarious... a must-see!” – DC Theater Arts
“If you’ve been craving a break from the frights of real life, this campy, vampy romp is a scream!” – TimeOut NY
“A raucous, 90-minute party in full swing.” – New York Sun
“If you have a fondness for the arch humor of The 39 Steps or the tongue-in-cheek mayhem of Charles Ludlam, Dracula: A Comedy of Terrors is your cup of giggles.” – Palm Beach Post

All eight performances will start with a reading of Dragons Love Tacos. After each performance, participate in an optional discussion (a "talk back") about the play. Each event will be 90 minutes which includes the 60 minute play.
Based on the popular children’s book by Adam Rubin, Dragons Love Tacos (DLT) is a delightfully silly & magical tale. The hilarious play has an underlying message about the importance of understanding differences & paying attention to details. One afternoon while doing homework, a boy & his dog uncover an earth-shattering secret: Dragons love tacos! Chicken tacos, beef tacos, big tacos, tiny tacos, all kinds of tacos. So, the boy & his dog throw the dragons a taco party, but they forgot the one topping that dragons don’t love. That’s when things really heat up!
