Just in time for the spooky season, Curio Theatre Company is kicking off its 21st season in West Philadelphia with a “Bram-new” production. From October 15 through November 1, the theatre company located at 48th and Baltimore will present “Dracula: A Comedy of Terrors.” The new show is a 90-minute, gender-bending, quick-changing, laugh-out-loud reimagining of the timeless gothic classic.

The show is filled with clever wordplay and unexpected pop culture references and features.

“We all know and love the story of Dracula – but I’m incredibly excited to bring this fresh, and hysterical, take on the classic story to Curio,” director Damien Figueras told BroadwayWorld.

Written by Gordon Greenberg and Steve Rosen, the production features five of the funniest actors in the Philadelphia area, according to Figueras: Matt Carter, Emmie Parker, Riley Sheetz, Janine Silano, and Jack Taylor.

The show opens on Saturday, Oct. 18 with previews beginning Wednesday, Oct. 15. All shows are at 8 p.m. with two matinee performances at 3 p.m. For more information and tickets, go here.

This season, Curio will also present “Hansel & Gretel,” (Dec. 17-31), “Sojourner,” (Feb. 4-14), and “Sacco & Vanzetti,” (Apr. 1-18). For more details, visit: curiotheatre.org.
