Dracula: A Comedy of Terrors
Showing October 25 - November 10, 2024

Directed by Ian Hales
Ever wondered what would happen if you took Bram Stoker’s legendary vampire tale and put it into a blender with Mel Brooks, Monty Python, and The 39 Steps? That’s just what happens in this lightning-fast, laugh-out-loud, 90-minute, gender-bending romp. When her sister Mina falls ill with a mysterious disease of the blood, Lucy Westfeldt and her fiancé, Jonathan Harker, enlist the help of famed female vampire hunter Doctor Jean Van Helsing. Their hunt for the dangerous and sexy Count Dracula abounds with clever wordplay and quick-change antics.
Dracula arrives Friday, October 25, and runs through Sunday, November 10; showtimes are Fridays and Saturdays at 8:00 PM, and Sundays at 2:00 PM, with a special Halloween night performance on Thursday, October 31 at the Acrosstown Repertory Theatre (3501 SW 2nd Ave, Suite O, Gainesville, FL, 32607, in Creekside Mall). A $10 Preview will be held on Thursday, October 24, at 8:00pm.
Tickets are $25 for the general public with a $5 discount for seniors (55+), students, teachers, first responders, veterans and military.
