Southeastern Theatre to present new adaptation of Dracula
Southeastern’s theatre program will open its fall season with the play Dracula, a new adaptation of Bram Stoker’s literary work of the same name. Written and directed
by Associate Professor of Acting and Directing Jim Winter, the play will run Sept.
25-28 at 7:30 p.m. nightly in Vonnie Borden Theatre, located in Southeastern’s D Vickers
Hall.
“Set in the heart of the London, Dracula traditionally portrays the journey Jonathan Harker and his fiancée Mina begin upon
after their meeting with the strange nobleman from Transylvania, Count Dracula,” explained
Winter. “Along with Professor Abraham Van Helsing, Jonathan and Mina struggle to discover
the secret Dracula keeps so carefully guarded. All the while, dark things begin to
happen around them.”
While visually striking with all the thrills and chills one would expect from
the horror classic, Southeastern’s Dracula has a few surprises in store, according to Winter.
“This all-new adaptation will be unlike anything the audience has ever seen on
this campus,” he said.
Tickets can be purchased one hour before performance time from the Vonnie Borden
Theatre box office, located in the lobby of D Vickers Hall. General admission tickets
are $15 adults; $10 seniors/non-SLU students; and free to Southeastern students with
university ID.
The cast includes the following 14 Southeastern students: Alden Mason, Jenna
Morgan, Jessica Monsour and Taylor Bennett of Slidell, Erica Weiss, Thomas Murphy
and Tyler Meyer of Mandeville, Colin Ross and Kayla Bullard of Baton Rouge, Alexis
Durante of Hammond, Shelly Sneed of Minden, Payton Core of Folsom, Jordin Jones of
New Orleans, and Taylor Meng of Gonzales.
