A good vampire can’t be kept down, and neither can a Bradley play! “Dracula,” the Halloween offering, is relocating, not to London like its 19th century name sake, but instead to the Little Theatre on Broad Street in Danielson. The sister organization has generously offered the use of their theatre since our beloved Bradley is undergoing repairs and won’t be quite finished in time for our show.
Tickets may be purchased by calling 860-928-7887, at the door or on line at www.thebradleyplayhouse.org. Please do not call the Little Theatre on Broad Street for tickets or information. Handicap access to the theatre is at the rear of the building where the elevator will take you to level one. All others are asked to enter through the left hand front door entrance on Broad Street.
Performances are at 7:30 p.m. Oct. 4, 5, 11, 12, and 19 and at 2 p.m. Oct. 6, 13 and 20. The Oct. 18 performance has been cancelled due to a previously scheduled production on the Little Theatre’s stage.
“Dracula”, dramatized by Hamilton Deane and John Balderson in 1927, is based on the 1897 Gothic horror novel written by Bram Stoker. Count Dracula (Mark Lowe) descends on 1930s England to claim his prize, the beautiful but frail Lucy Steward (Rachael Pontbriand). As Lucy’s health deteriorates, her father Dr. Steward (Greg Nichols) contacts his colleague, Dr. Van Helsing (David Smith) to solve the mystery of her illness. Can the good doctors, her fiancé (Benjamin Lawver) or the insane Renfield (Vince Chaisson) save Lucy from her fate? Oliver Wentworth and Mackenzie Eklund round out the cast of characters in this classic tale of cruelty, horror and desire, directed by Jonathan Loux with Assistant Director Jim Weigel.
The Bradley’s Production will be hosted by the Little Theatre on Broad Street, located at 185 Broad Street in Danielson, Connecticut in the Killingly Community Center. All seats for this production are $14. If you previously purchased tickets for $17, you will receive a refund for the difference at the door. Patrons who are unable to attend the production in Danielson may cancel their tickets for a full refund. Those patrons who have tickets in hand or who have printed them at home may use those tickets, however, please note that all seats in Danielson will be general admission. Persons with Season tickets, Flex passes, gift certificates or complimentary tickets should reserve them by calling the Bradley box office at 860-928-7887. Patrons with handicap needs are urged to call the Bradley box office as well.
Free Tickets! Patrons who have donated blood from Sept. 15 through Oct. 20 will receive a free ticket to any performance by bringing proof of their donation to the theatre on a show night.
