Judging from its poster (above), the Shandaken Theatrical Society's production of Dracula is not for the faint of heart.
This version of Dracula features an original score composed by Robert Cucinotta and a copious amount of fake blood. A disclaimer on STS's Facebook page warns parents that the show may be too scary for younger kids.
The show opened last night (on Halloween, of course) and is hosting a special "Friday Night Feastival Fundraiser" tonight. The fundraiser begins across the street from the theater at Mama's Boy Market with wine, "Transylvanian Goulash," a campfire, and a performance by students at the Paul Green Rock Academy Show Band.
After dinner, Dracula plays across the street. All proceeds go towards funding more STS shows.
