Stage Fright Presents:
STITCHES & They Were A Dracula
Presented by Stage Fright
Jan. 3 & 4 @ 7:30 PM, Jan. 5 @ 4 PM
Did you miss the Stage Fright Festival last October? Fear not. The twisted minds behind the world’s first and only queer horror theatre festival are resurrecting two productions from this past year’s lineup for a double creature feature honoring the iconic divas Dracula and Frankenstein.
Your ticket is for BOTH shows, performed back-to-back! There will be a fifteen-minute intermission so you can grab a drink, look at our spooky lobby display, or run screaming into the void of night. We won’t blame you!
They Were a Dracula starts with familiar characters from Bram Stoker’s famous novel but quickly tears open the story, as one after the other get turned into vampires. In this scary comedy, Jonathan comes out to Mina as a member of the undead. Mina seduces Lucy, who seduces Van Helsing. Dracula himself is conflicted about drinking blood. Gnashing fangs, spurting blood, song and dance numbers—will anyone survive? Created by Ashley Hollingshead and Summer Olsson, with Jeff Desautels, Laura Loy, Allie Menzimer and Saul Seal. Directed by Summer Olsson.
STITCHES is a queer body horror clown show about the right to repair. Inspired by Grand Guignol, follow a reanimated corpse in its attempts to achieve true life on its own terms. Nathalie Owen FitzSimons (she/they/it) makes weird things. It is the scene shop supervisor at Portland Community College, a graduate of Dell’Arte International’s MFA program, and she plays the accordion too! They have previously been half the killer birds in Imago Theatre’s production of “The Birds” and a bleeding refrigerator in Heiner Muller’s “Hamletmachine”. Fix more than you build, build more than you buy.
