Fri 10/3-Sat 10/25
Cleveland theaters are turning up their lights for their 2025-26 season, but Tremont’s Convergence-continuum theater, whose season runs across a calendar year, is simply continuing its 2025 season. But, like many other theaters, it’s chosen something spooky and ghoulish for the Halloween season, which is indeed becoming a holiday “season” like Christmas.
Convergence-continuum’s choice is Gordon Greenberg and Steve Rosen’s new comedy Dracula: A Comedy of Terrors, which it will be presenting in its Ohio premiere.
“Filled with clever wordplay and anything-goes pop culture references, it’s a 90-minute, quick-changing, laugh-out-loud reimagining of the gothic classic, perfect for audiences of all blood types,” they say. The plot involves an English real estate agent heading to Transylvania to meet a new client, who turns out to be — surprise! — a vampire. Drac is chased from Transylvania back to England by a female vampire hunter: “Their antics are guaranteed to increase your pulse and cause bloodcurdling screams — of laughter,” says the theater. Five actors — Emily Schrader, Leo Fez, Samuel Bartlett, Carson Betts and Katherine Nash — will play multiple roles, directed by Scott Zolkowski.
The play opens Friday, October 3, and runs through Saturday October 25, at Convergence-continuum’s home, the Liminis. Go here for tickets.
