  •  This play sends up gender “norms,” and all characters can be played by actors of any gender, age or type.

    Harker (20s-30s, M)
    British accent

    Lucy’s timid, prim, and proper germaphobe real estate agent fiancee who is frightened of his own shadow.  After he’s bitten he transforms into a leather-clad rock star. 

    Note: This role includes at least one male/female kiss and a male/male kiss.

    Dr. Westfeldt (40s-50s, M)
    British accent

    Lucy and Mina's father. A self-important, misogynistic doctor running an insane asylum. A symbol of proper Victorian culture, he upholds only the finest of outdated Victorian views on medicine, the sexes, and basically everything else.

    Lucy Westfeldt (20s-30s, F)
    British accent

    The brave and adventurous fiancée of Jonathan. She is an intelligent "new woman" who leads the hunt to find and kill Dracula.

    Mina Westfeldt (20s-30s, F)
    British accent

    Lucy’s sister, Mina is awkward, nerdy, and not-so-subtly jealous of Lucy.

    Dr. Van Helsing (40s-50s, F)
    German accent a la Mel Brooks

    A brilliant, sturdy, and no-nonsense female German vampire hunter from the University of Schmutz. She exudes authority in a way Dr. Westfeldt could only dream of.

    Dracula (1,000+, M)
    Commanding European accent

    A centuries-old vampire who is the sexiest man not-alive. A narcissistic pansexual rock star who knows how hot he is and flaunts it at every occasion. He is still, however, also an evil blood-drinking corpse-man. Equal parts sexy, silly, and actually scary.

    Note: This role includes going shirtless and a male/male kiss.

    Supporting Actor 1 (Any age, any gender)

    Part of a 2-person ensemble, this is a flexible role that plays multiple distinct, cartoony incidental characters, including:

    • Renfield, the bug-eating madman Dr. Westfeldt is trying to rehabilitate

    • Lord Cavendish/Lord Worthington/Lord Havemercy, two stuffy aristocrats and a cowboy, all at the same time.

    • Bosun, the first mate on a doomed voyage

    Supporting Actor 2 (Any age, any gender)

    The other part of the 2-person ensemble, this role also plays several distinct, cartoony incidental characters, including:

    • Kitty, the kleptomaniac maid

    • Captain, the pilot on a doomed voyage

    • Carriage Driver

    • Gravedigger

    The Creeps (Any age, any gender, non-speaking)

    A small team (4 to 6) of masked ghouls who act partly as stagehands to assist with scene changes, as extras to act as crowds, as back-up dancers for Dracula, and as comedians to help with the ‘special effects.’ Must be able to express character solely through movement.

  • Fresh from its smash Off-Broadway run, Dracula: A Comedy of Terrors is a 90-minute, gender-bending, quick-change comedy that takes Bram Stoker's legendary gothic tale and turns it gloriously upside down.

    Think Mel Brooks meets Monty Python meets classic vampire horror with jokes by the truckload and not a dull moment in sight.

    Featuring a whirlwind of clever wordplay, outrageous pop culture nods, and lightning-fast costume changes, this show will leave you breathless with laughter.

  • Rehearsals will likely start in early-mid July and be 2-3 weeknights.

    Tech week will be September 12-18, 2026. All actors are needed in the evenings during this week. There are no conflicts allowed.

    2pm Matinee performances:
