Dracula: A Comedy of Terrors - Audition Notice
Written by Gordon Greenberg and Steve Rosen
Very loosely based on the novel Dracula by Bram Stoker
Directed by Matthew Masino
Presented by Lazy Susan Theatre Co.

When her sister Mina falls ill with a mysterious disease of the blood, Lucy Westfeldt and her fiance, 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.

Available Roles
All roles require excellent comic actors with bold choices and great comedic instincts, great physical comedic ability, expert facility with various dialects, and a great capacity for fearless, razor-sharp melodramatic comedy in the style of The 39 Steps. The show also lovingly plays with gender presentation in the queer-camp style made popular by the work of Charles Ludlam, Everett Quinton, and the Ridiculous Theater Company (The Mystery of Irma Vep). A full breakdown will be shared with the sides.
