Here Comes Dracula

In case you can never have enough Halloween, New Mexico Tech’s Performing Arts Series brings you “Dracula: The Musical?” a comic spoof produced by ABQStages. The fun happens at Macey Center at 7:30 p.m. on Friday, Nov. 6.
Albuquerque Stages takes the classic horror tale of the vampire Dracula, adds some of Albuquerque’s most talented performers, over-the-top humor, singing, dancing and audience participation and you’ve got a recipe for fun. Costumes and audience participation are encouraged. Last year’s production in Albuquerque was a huge success with sold out performances, and this year’s show is sure to be a crowd-pleaser.
Under the direction of J.B. Tuttle, returning cast members Jeremy Gwin, Erin Warden, Reni Roberson, Scott Fitzgibbon and Bryan Gilliland will be joined by fresh blood including Leah Tuttle, Paul Barlow, Zane Barker and Erin Moody.
Before the show, people 21 and over are invited to join Tech Club – Club Macey for a Dracula-themed social from 5 to 7 p.m. in Macey Center. There will be a costume contest with prizes for “Most Creative”; “Scariest”; and “People’s Choice.” Snacks for the evening will be Blood of Vampire Soup (roasted beet soup with garlic); beef carpaccio; and Death by Chocolate. There is a $5 cover charge if you are not a member of TCCM.
ABQStages is a new non-profit theatre company providing creative and educational opportunities for a diverse community by producing accessible quality theatre on local stages.
Tickets for the performance are $16 for adults, $14 for senior citizens, and $12 for youths 17 and under. Tickets are available at the door or in advance at Brownbilt Western Wear, Sofia’s Kitchen, Video Shack, and the Tech Cashier’s Office on the second floor of Fidel Center.

The performance is supported in part by New Mexico Arts, and the National Endowment for the Arts. Local sponsors include Associated Universities/ NRAO and the New Mexico Tech Student Association and Graduate Student Association.
