"Dracula" is a stage play adapted from Bram Stoker's novel, with the first authorized version written by Hamilton Deane in 1924 and later revised by John L. Balderston in 1927. This adaptation, considered a classic horror story, follows Count Dracula's arrival in England, his attempts to gain new blood, and the efforts of Jonathan Harker, Van Helsing, and others to stop him.
Ages 1st grade to Adult
The holiday classic soars off the screen in this musical adaptation of the beloved television special. Filled with holiday hits like "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer" and "A Holly Jolly Christmas," Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer™ features all of your favorite characters including Santa and Mrs. Claus, Hermey the Elf, Bumble the Abominable Snow Monster, Clarice, Yukon Cornelius and, of course, Rudolph. It’s an adventure that teaches us that what makes you different can be what makes you special.
Because of his shiny nose, Rudolph doesn't feel like he belongs in Christmastown and sets off to find a place that accepts him. Along his journey, he encounters fellow misfits, only to realize that home is where he has belonged the whole time. When a storm threatens to keep Santa's sleigh from taking flight, what makes Rudolph different turns out to be what helps him save Christmas!
