Dracula
A Musical Nightmare
Stumptown Stages presents a special Halloween performance
of their season-opening production, Dracula, a Musical Night­
mare at 10 p.m. on Wednesday, Oct. 31.
Written by Douglas Johnson and directed by Tobias Ander­
son, this humorous treatment of the Dracula story in the frame­
work of a music-hall troupe has got it all, the requisite insect­
eating lunatic, beautiful innocents, hapless heroes and thickly-
accented vampire experts.
Dracula, a Musical Nightmare runs through Sunday, Nov. 11
at the Portland Center for the Performing Arts, Brunish Theatre,
1111 S.W. Broadway.
