The immortal Count Dracula has arrived in London —and he is hungry. Cloaked in mystery and aristocratic charm, this enigmatic nobleman takes residence near the home of Dr. Seward, where a series of strange and unsettling events quickly unfold. Shadows move restlessly in the night, wolves prowl and howl in the distant fields, and an air of dread clings to the city. One by one, people fall gravely ill, their strength drained by a force they cannot name. Fear spreads like a mist, and soon it becomes clear that something far darker than disease stalks the living.

But evil never goes unchallenged. When Professor Abraham Van Helsing—a man of science, folklore, and unshakable courage—arrives to investigate, he quickly uncovers the truth: a vampire walks among them. Together with a desperate band of friends, Van Helsing must face the sinister Count before his reign of terror claims more victims. At stake are not only their lives, but their very souls. The battle that follows pits ancient evil against human resilience in a story as thrilling today as it was more than a century ago.

Now, the Upper St. Clair High School Theatre Department invites you to experience Dracula as it was first brought to the stage by Hamilton Deane and John L. Balderston. Premiering in 1927, this electrifying adaptation of Bram Stoker’s groundbreaking novel became a sensation on Broadway, dazzling audiences with its eerie atmosphere and spine-tingling suspense. The play’s success inspired the legendary 1931 film starring Bela Lugosi, forever etching the Count’s piercing gaze and unforgettable presence into cinematic history.

This production carries forward that same legacy, immersing audiences in the gothic world that has captivated imaginations for generations. Expect moonlit castles, shadowy crypts, and moments of breathtaking tension, where darkness presses in and every heartbeat echoes louder than the last. Beneath the terror lies a story of loyalty, courage, and the enduring fight between light and darkness.

Dracula is not just a tale of horror—it is a study of human vulnerability and strength, of conquest and sacrifice, of fear and the resilience to face it. As the immortal Count weaves his sinister web, the audience is drawn deeper into a world of dark romance and unshakable suspense.

This Halloween season, do not miss your chance to witness the most famous vampire of all time as he takes the stage once more. The legend lives on—step into the shadows, if you dare, and prepare to sink your teeth into a theatrical experience that will cling to the shadows of your memory long after the curtain falls
