Dracula

ACT, 2019

Playwright: Steven Dietz

Director: John Langs

Costumes: Deb Trout

Lights: Andrew Smith

Sound: Robertson Witmer

“… [W]e can move on to the gushing about the gorgeous work on hand including Matthew Smucker’s delightful scenic design which is centered on a huge wall of what are essentially coffins that move about in a fantastically terrifying way. And, Deborah Trout’s beautifully color coded costumes (white and cream for the “good guys” and black/red for Dracula and his minions). As well as Andrew D. Smith’s wonderfully dramatic lighting scheme and Rob Witmer’s very nuanced sound design and music composition which includes superb live music performed by an onstage Rachael Beaver, who also contributed music composition to this production. This Dracula looks and sounds like a million bucks and comes complete with lots of terrific stagecraft involving creepy coffins, blood dripping down walls, fun puppetry and all sorts of stage magic craft that delights and dazzles the eye and the ear. These elements are by themselves worth the price of admission.” - Seattle Gay Scene
