Live Theatre: Dracula - A Comedy of Terrors

Watch as the famous vampire Count Dracula sets his sights on England and an unsuspecting woman named Mina, only to find himself pursued by a determined group led by Jonathan Harker and the quirky Professor Van Helsing armed with garlic, crosses, and very little sense of coordination. What unfolds is a fast-paced, comedic take on Bram Stoker's classic tale where moments of romance, danger, and disaster constantly collide in absurd and hilarious ways. A small cast pulls double and triple duty, racing through quick costume changes, exaggerated accents, sword fights, and plenty of theatrical mayhem. Rather than leaning into traditional vampire drama, this production turns the famous story into a silly farce packed with laughs alongside the fangs. The show is rated PG-17, making it appropriate for older kids and families who enjoy live theater with humor. Tickets start at $20, with multiple performance dates available throughout October. Head to the Johnson County Arts & Heritage Center to catch this spirited, fast-moving production.
