Is It OK To Talk About Sex?
By Charles Packard
Dracula is sexy. Both as a character and as a show. It is also violent in the old school bloody stake-through-the-heart kind of way. I brought my eight-year-old daughter to rehearsal to help gauge what age the show is appropriate for. After looking at a few scenes she announced: “Definitely no kid under twelve should see this and even a little older if they are a child that is prone to nightmares!”

Dracula Opens Friday!

October 7-November 6
"Dracula" is a thrilling drama of suspense and Gothic romance set in Europe at the end of the Victorian Age. The story follows the famed vampire as he lusts for new blood. Jonathan Harker and Mina Murray fall victim to Dracula’s unnatural charm, and along with Doctor Van Helsing, must fight Dracula’s super-natural powers. “Dracula” will enthrall audiences with its powerful score and its potential for bringing the undead to life in this haunting musical of unrequited love.

Season 32 - Life on the Margins of Polite Society

The Aurora Fox Arts Center is about to enjoy the opening of our 32nd Season. Starting on October 7 with the opening of "Dracula," Life on the Margins of Polite Society is a look at how mainstream society works—consciously and unconsciously—to exclude groups of people, and how those groups of people find the strength to survive and succeed. You’ll find a vampire, a disabled beggar with a goat cart, an obsessed explorer of undiscovered species, a Midwesterner trying to build a business in China and three drag queens traveling across the Australian Outback. Through these characters you’ll experience how humans tend to create small, insulated communities, keeping others outside of the margins of their polite society. Through Season 32 we hope to expose patrons to other cultures, to blur and overlap those margins, and to create a more accepting larger community.
