DRACULA
BY STEVEN DIETZ
DIRECTED BY ESDRAS TOUSSAINT
The seductive, scary and tragic soul of Stoker’s beloved novel is told through faithful dialogue and moving theatricality. As Count Dracula begins to exert his will upon the residents of London, they try to piece together the clues of his appearances – in a valiant attempt to save themselves from a hideous fate. Rich with both humor and horror, this play paints a wicked picture of Stoker’s famous vampire. Enter the world of the Count, and prepare yourself for a night of terror and fascination!

APPROPRIATE
BY BRANDEN JACOBS-JENKINS
DIRECTED BY SHAHEEN VAAZ
When the Lafayettes descend upon their late father’s crumbling plantation home for an estate sale, they unearth an appalling secret that pits them against one another. Through a cascading series of revelations, biting humor boils over into bruising conflict, and no one will escape this family gathering unscathed. Smart and incendiary, this 2024 Tony Award winner by Branden Jacobs-Jenkins (Everybody, An Octoroon) depicts a Southern family wrestling with a destructive inheritance as they consider the legacy they want to leave for the next generation.
December 4 through 13, Fri/Sat @ 7.30pm and Sun @ 2pm
