As in Bram Stoker's novel by the same name, playwrights Hamilton Deane and John L. Balderston have adapted the story of a famous vampire. In "Dracula," a mysterious presence appears at Dr. Seward's (played by Nathan Shaw of Livonia) sanatorium near London. The lives of a beautiful young woman (played by Rebecca Himm of Northville) and her idealistic fiance' (played by Jake Edward Beitzel of Livonia) are challenged. In the light of a full, ripe moon; creeping shadows; crying patients; howling dogs and flying bats the stage becomes filled with the irresistible charm of evil. The struggles of three mortal men against the satanic genius of Dracula (played by Scott Dreaver of Canton) is both terrifying and thrilling.

Other members of the cast include Michelle Danaj of Livonia, Dalibor Atanaskoski of Dearborn Heights, Aaron Ruettinger of Fenton, Benjamin Gresko of Howell, Thomas Peck of Garden City, Kevin Meloche of Westland, and Kristen Campbell of Canton. The Schoolcraft College Theatre Department performs under the direction of Dr. James Hartman.
