PLEASE NOTE this CONTENT WARNING: This play is sometimes funny, campy, and potentially empowering, but it is Dracula, and therefore a horror show. It contains total darkness, jump scares, staged violence of all kinds including stabbing with a wooden stake, infanticide, cannibalism, lots of blood, emotional and physical abuse, non-consensual physical contact, misogyny, murder, and implied suicide. It also comments on and invites critique of those things, but performers who are sensitive to any of the above should absolutely read the whole play before auditioning. Your emotional and physical safety is of the utmost importance. Rest assured: we will work with a fight and intimacy choreographer whose priority is always the actors’ safety and full consent.
Contact Dr. Amy Steiger, alsteiger@smcm.edu, with any questions or concerns.
