Greetings!

What brought about the Twilight craze?  Why are so many enthralled with the series Trueblood?  The simple answer...Dracula.  The Bram Stoker classic Gothic tale invented and popularized the vampire.  The Showboat is taking this classic tale and bringing it to the stage during the Halloween season.
The cast for the Showboat's Dracula is spectacular.  An entire local cast with Doug Kutzli of Dewitt in the title role of Dracula. John VanDeWowstyne of Geneseo brings Dr. Seward, Dracula's neighbor to the stage.  Tanya Smith of Gooselake plays Lucy, the afflicted fiance of Seward.  Mary Pirch of Camanche portrays the chaperoning Aunt of Lucy.  Haley Courter of Clinton sweeps the stage as Seward's house keeper, Abigail,  Cole Rauch of Fulton plays the ever strange Renfield and Erica Vandervelde of Clinton plays the wise Van Helsing.

This show will surely get everyone in the Halloween mood.

Dracula opens October 15 and runs Fridays and Saturdays at 7:30 and Sundays at 3:00.  Tickets are available at the Showboat Box Office on Fridays from 4-7 and Saturdays and Sundays from Noon to 4 or online at www.clintonshowboat.org. Tickets are $15 and discounts are available for groups over 20 and school
groups.
Sincerely,
