Dracula: A Comedy of Terrors!
AD Performance: Saturday, October 17 | 7:30 PM performance
Plot summary: Sink your teeth into a frightfully funny farce where gothic horror meets high-speed hilarity. Dracula: A Comedy of Terrors takes Bram Stoker’s classic vampire tale, flips it upside down, adds a few wigs, a lot of accents, and about a gallon of fake blood, then dashes it all with a generous splash of Monty Python energy.
Count Dracula is back, baby. He’s mysterious, immortal, charming, and very, very Eastern European. He’s also trying to sell his castle and relocate to England, which seems like a great idea until he meets a group of Victorians with more issues than a haunted library. Once in London, Dracula sets his sights on the innocent Mina, and let’s just say she has no idea that her new suitor sleeps in a box and has no reflection. Romance is complicated.
It will be a night of theatrical bloodshed, bonkers comedy, and ridiculous plot twists that somehow all come together. Whether you love vampires, hate vampires, or just enjoy watching actors run in circles while trying not to trip over a cape, this show is to die for.
Bring garlic. Leave logic. Prepare for terror. And laughter. Lots and lots of laughter.

Outlander in Concert
Friday, October 23 | 7:30 PM performance
For longtime “Outlander” fans, these words feel like home. As the global phenomenon reaches its conclusion in 2026, its heart continues to beat on stage with “Outlander in Concert.” The officially licensed live concert experience was created in collaboration with its showrunner, Matthew B. Roberts, and original Emmy Award-winning composer Bear McCreary.
Like the stones of Craigh na Dun that carried Claire through time to Jamie, this symphonic experience guides audiences through love and loss, past and future, Scotland and beyond. The iconic score by Bear McCreary takes center stage, performed live by an orchestra, while the series’ most stirring moments unfold on a cinema‑sized screen.
“Outlander in Concert” celebrates the show’s rich heritage, its timeless characters, and the sweeping landscapes that made us fall in love. Premiering in Scotland, the heart and home of “Outlander,” Echoes Through The Highlands will fill the air, reminding us that this is not the end… but just the beginning.
Officially licensed by Sony Pictures Television and in collaboration with official broadcaster Starz, this concert is a love letter to the story that captured millions of hearts across the world. Through time. Through love. Through music.
