Dracula

Since Marina is getting older we’re able to see more mature theatrical productions. A theater near our house is presenting Dracula and even though it is for mature audiences, I decided to take her to see it. We went with some of our good friends.

We arrived at the theater early, so we took photos in front of the posters outside and got some snacks for the show. We went to our seats which were in the second row. The set was dark and occasionally fog spread across the stage.

Once the show began it was quite dark from the beginning. Marina didn’t seem to mind at all. She did cover her eyes when there was “brief nudity” but it wasn’t really necessary.

Despite the very dark storyline Marina loved the show. After it was over, we waited to meet members of the cast. First we spoke with an actor who had an amazing voice. As we talked with him we found out we’ve seen him in many shows this year and will likely see his next few as well. That was fun.

We also talked with the actor who played Dracula. We met him after Once On This Island a few years ago. He was very gracious to us. We had a bit of a wait to see the actress who played Mina. We first saw her in Cinderella four years ago. She remembered meeting us and talked to us for a while. We learned some of the shows she will be performing in, so we’ll be sure to see her again soon!
