2021 season of transformAtion
In 2020 we were reminded that we set the parameters of our art and we have the ability and responsibility to adapt, adjust, and transform based on the needs of the community we are serving. For our 9th Season, Savannah Stage Company is taking everything we’ve learned and transforming and applying it to something newer, something richer, and something more accessible than ever. We’re taking risks, we’re telling stories, and we’re finding new gold in old places. Join us as we introduce our all new Teen Company, as we discover and build a fresh week of B.I.G. Camp, and explore a classic tale sure to have you seeing things in a brand new way!
DRACULA
adapted from Bram Stocker’s novel by Catherine Bush
The vampire Dracula flees Transylvania for London, where the teeming population provides ample fodder for their blood-thirst. Only Agatha Van Helsing, the world famous metaphysician, has a hope of stopping the Undead. Can Van Helsing save the day? Or will her heroic efforts merely render her the next victim to Dracula’s deadly bite? A fresh new take on a timeless horror classic!
