"Dracula" On Stage in New York

When out with the Count, drink responsibly. Or make sure he's drinking responsibly. In any case, no drinks are needed to enjoy the theatrical production of "Dracula" currently being staged by the Moose Hall Theatre Company as part of the Inwood Shakespeare Festival 2009, outdoors in Manhattan. The Inwood Shakespeare Festival (ISF) was conceived as a way to bring theatre to the greater Inwood community in the Northernmost part of Manhattan.

"Dracula" is a gothic horror tale, adapted for stage from Bram Stoker's novel by director Ted Minos. The show features Kevin Shinnick in the lead as Count Dracula. Kevin is the publisher of Scarlet The Film Magazine, showcased in a previous Horror Happenings column. See: Scarlett Monster Magazine. The actor is very pleased to return to Inwood in this role. He just finished playing a Vincent Price-ish character in "The Go Go Killers." He dedicates his performance to his late friend Robert Quarry (filmdom’s Count Yorga), his family, and the Baboos in his life.

Note that performances are free, but end this Saturday night, so see it Wednesday July 29, Thursday July 30, Friday, July 31, or Saturday, August 1. Showtime is 7:30. Presented outdoors so bring a blanket. Some scenes may not be suitable for young children. Parental discretion advised.
