Everyone’s favorite Transylvanian vamps it up at T3
To begin its 58th season, Theatre 3 presents a spooktacular world premiere for Halloween. The version of Dracula, written by local playwright Michael Federico, offers an original, feminist take on Bram Stoker’s horror classic. Told through the eyes of Dracula’s mistress Mina, this tale follows the undead count of Romanian folklore and his lover in the darkest, bloodiest pocket of Transylvania.
