The world's most famous vampire is back! This year's Dracula boasts the return of director Jennifer Pennington as well as the exceptional cast from last year's production, predominantly composed of talented local artists.
Witty and terrifying, Kate Hamill's Dracula is a stunning adaptation that embraces the tradition of the monster myth, and celebrates the power of communities that unite against the woes that trouble them. Join us at Actors Theatre of Louisville as we tell the latest iteration of this enduring story and endeavor to take down the Vampire!
