MILL HALL — According to a press release, Millbrook Playhouse is set to present “Dracula: A Comedy of Terrors” for nine performances, from Friday through Aug. 17, on the Ryan Main Stage. The fast-paced, laugh-out-loud reimagining of Bram Stoker’s gothic tale, written by Steve Rosen and Gordon Greenberg, offers a “fang-tastic” time, the release said.

In this side-splitting send-up of the legendary vampire, a timid English real estate agent travels to the eerie mountains of Transylvania to meet a mysterious new client, who turns out to be none other than the world’s most bloodthirsty bachelor: Count Dracula. From there, the chase is on as female vampire-slayer Jean Van Helsing and an eccentric ensemble of heroes (and oddballs) race to save London — and themselves.

“With more than a dozen zany characters played by just five fearless actors, and a script packed with wordplay, physical comedy, and unexpected pop culture winks, this 90-minute whirlwind is a ‘Bram’-new comedy you can really sink your teeth into,” said the press release.

The cast features Jacob Little as Harker, Cavendish, Worthington, Havemercy, Bosun, and Gravedigger; Mary Malaney as Dr. Westfeldt, Renfield, the Captain, and a man-eating wolf; Brenna Peerbolt as Lucy, Kitty, the Driver, and a man-eating wolf; Tara Nicole Murphy as Mina, Jean Van Helsing, and a man-eating wolf; and Tommy Anderson as the infamous Count Dracula.

Longtime Millbrook favorite Lawrence Lesher directs the production. His past credits at Millbrook include “Stones in His Pockets,” “Boeing Boeing,” “Misery,” “Rounding Third,” and “The 39 Steps.” The creative team includes Cade M. Sikora (set designer), Ericka Conklin (sound and lighting designer), Bailey Hammett-Colwel (costume designer) and V.C. Deener (props designer). Kaidyn Rogers serves as the production stage manager.

“This isn’t your grandmother’s ‘Dracula’ — unless your grandmother really loves pop culture references and lightning-fast costume changes,” said the press release. “It’s campy, spooky, and packed with so much energy, you’ll need garlic to keep your cheeks from hurting — from smiling too much.”

Performances for “Dracula: A Comedy of Terrors” will be at 7:30 p.m. Friday, Saturday, and Aug. 13-16; and 2 p.m. on Sunday, Aug. 13 and Aug. 17. Millbrook Playhouse is located at 258 Country Club Lane, Mill Hall. For more information or tickets, visit millbrookplayhouse.org or call (570) 748-8083.
