Leland and Gray Players present Mac Wellman’s DRACULA
TOWNSHEND Leland and Gray Players’ last show of its twenty-first season is Mac Wellman’s Dracula. Wellman’s is an “adaptation of Bram Stoker's classic novel that preserves the Victorian tendencies of his writing while veering wildly into new vampire territory…. Wickedly clever language and an often nightmarish world combine to create a Dracula unlike it's ever been seen before,” according to Playscripts.com. The characters are outrageous; the humor is ample and dark; the student-created production design and incidental music will really round out a pretty exciting evening, “ director and producer Annie Landenberger adds.
The Players’ production features junior Kenneth Cashman as Count Dracula, junior Anastasia Stevens as Mina Harker; sophomore Gabrel Vanni-Phillips as Jonathan Harker; junior Adam Culver as Dr. Jack Seward; freshman Veronica Stevens as Lucy Westenra; sophomore Sam Thibault as Professor Van Helsing; Luke Parker-Jennings, grade 8, as Simmons; Peter Broussard, grade 7, as Quincy Morris and the Coachman. Freshmen Bay Holmes, juniors Rebekah Winot and Rebecca Williams; Abbie Hazelton, Pia Burke and Alice Coyne, grade 8, are the blood thirsting Greek chorus-like Vampyrettes. The cast is rounded out by Raena Sanderson, Hannah Landers and Evelyn Swim, all in grade 7.
