‘Dracula’ creeps into Smoky Mountain Community Theatre

The fall production of Bram Stoker’s classic “Dracula” will be performed at 7:30 p.m. Oct. 17-18, 24-25 and 27 and at 2:30 p.m. Oct. 19 and 26 at the Smoky Mountain Community Theatre in Bryson City.

The stage adaptation is closely based on the original, presenting the frightening story that made this a horror classic. The mysterious Count Dracula first meets with real estate agent Jonathan Harker at creepy Castle Dracula in Transylvania. Dracula then goes to England where he is living on a large estate next to an insane asylum run by the incredibly naive Dr. Seward. 

The others that make up the cast of this thriller include Professor Van Helsing, who must convince Dr. Seward that Count Dracula is a vampire; Renfield, a fly-eating lunatic who serves the Count; beautiful Lucy Westenra, who has an uncanny resemblance to a girl Count Dracula loved over 100 years ago; female vampires, and many more. 

Tickets are $10 for adults, $5 for students ages 6 to 18, and those under age 6 are admitted free.
