Dracula 2008

Live Theater. Art. It's what keeps our society energized, though too few take advantage of that energy. TV is cool, Movies are OK, but live theater with actors only a few feet from you - that's life.

In the case of a live performance of Dracula, it's death.

Once again, Chrispy and wife trekked to Louisville's Actor's Theater to brave blood gushing (ew), needle piercing, screaming, rat gnawing violence, gore, gun shots, screams,a nd explosions. And this is all in a 500 seat auditorium cram packed with actors running, jumping, yelling, and flying about beneath, beside, and above.

Thrilling.

Here's a fun series of images that show one of the transfomations and hint at the illusion.
