Portland Civic Players Performing Dracula: A Comedy of Terrors

The Portland Civic Players open our upcoming production of Dracula: A Comedy of Terrors, Friday, February 27 and are excited about the production!

Dracula: A Comedy of Terrors is a wild reimagining of Bram Stoker’s gothic classic, where horror meets high farce. When the dangerously charming Count Dracula sets his sights on the brilliant and strong-willed Lucy Westfeldt, a whirlwind of supernatural shenanigans and razor-sharp wit follows. As Dracula’s plans grow bolder, an unlikely group races to stop him, armed with intellect, determination, and a healthy dose of chaos.

Fast-paced, theatrical, and ridiculous, Dracula: A Comedy of Terrors takes Bram Stoker’s gothic classic and slaps on physical comedy and Monty Python-like mischief. Sexy, spooky, and laugh-out-loud funny, Dracula: A Comedy of Terrors is guaranteed to increase your pulse and cause bloodcurdling screams—of laughter.

Dracula: A Comedy of Terrors features James Wohlfert as Count Dracula, Jace Fandrick as Jonathon Harker, Lyndsey Camp as Lucy Westfeldt, Amber Miller as Mina Westfeldt, Clay Ramsey as Dr. Wallace Westfeldt, Michelle Halgren as Dr. Van Helsing, Izzy Pawlanta as Renfield, Sara Pohl as Kitty Rutherford and the Bosun, Izze Tower as the Lords Cavendish, Worthington, and Havemercy and the Driver, Leon Miller as the Captain, and Garret Ramsey as the Gravedigger.

Performances will be held at the Portland Community Theater on Feb 27, 28 and March 6 and 7 at 7:30 and March 8 at 2:30. Tickets are only $12 may be purchased at www.portlandcivicplayers.com or by calling the box office at 517-647-4041 during regular box office hours. You can also purchase your ticket the night of the show at the box office. Check out our website at www.portlandcivicplayers.com for all the details and follow us on Facebook at Portland Civic Players.

While Dracula: A Comedy of Terrors is packed with laughs, it does contain suggestive humor and scary elements (albeit very campy elements). It’s all played for comedy, but patrons should be aware that this is not your parents’ Dracula.

We cannot wait for audiences to join us in the dark… and laugh a little louder than they ever expected to at a vampire story.
