UW brings 'Dracula' to stage

With a twist on the classic novel by Bram Stoker, the University of Wyoming will present a ballet performance of “Dracula: the Legend in Motion” at the auditorium on Nov. 3 The piece is choreographed by Jennifer Deckert, and features an original score by Sean Stone. According to the UW website, the show “portrays the wonder, desire, and terror of “Dracula,” a story of passion and courage that takes us from the mystery-shrouded depths of Transylvania to the stylishly steam-punked streets of London.”

The free show, recommended for age 11 and up, is scheduled to begin at 7 p.m. at the auditorium, and those attending are encouraged to dress in the style of Dracula. Prior to the evening’s show, there will be a face-painting fundraiser for the high school Drama Club in the auditorium library, beginning at 5:30 p.m. Cost for the painting is: $1 for a small cheek design, $3 for a half face and $5 for a full face.

Proceeds will go to help pay for Drama Club expenses when travelling to the State competition in Laramie.
