stage managed by Katherine Thesing

Overview

As we build toward reincorporating live, in-person performance in our theatres, we wanted to share a virtual look at the next iteration of Dracula, currently in development in our interdisciplinary laboratory.

Join us for a virtual gathering where we will hear excerpts from Kate Hamill's acclaimed recent adaptation, meet the cast and creative team, and learn about the new production that's in the works for next year's Halloween season.

Can't join us live? All ticket holders will be able to stream the event October 2–5. The video can be found in your Actors Theatre of Louisville account on October 2.

This event will be live captioned.

In this thrilling new adaptation that bounces between humor and horror, playwright Kate Hamill reimagines Bram Stoker’s vampire classic as full-throated battle cry against toxic masculinity. No damsels in distress, no romanticized villains—just a gleeful stake through the heart of the patriarchy.


We wish to express our gratitude to the Performers’ Union:
ACTORS’ EQUITY ASSOCIATION
through Theatre Authority, Inc. for their cooperation in permitting the Artists to appear in this program
