Dracula by Bram Stoker
Originally wanting Treasure Island to be the first Mercury Theatre broadcast, Orson Welles abruptly changed his mind a week before the recording to present Dracula by Bram Stoker, citing that the changing narrators and locations were ideal for radio. In tribute to Welles, our pilot episode will be Stoker's classic tale about the vampiric Count Dracula, who travels to England for fresh blood and to spread his dark curse. So, close your curtains, turn down the lights, and enjoy this classic tale of horror. Cast (in order of appearance) Jonathan Harker..................Tyler Rossi Various Voices..................Michael Garland Various Voices..................Veronica Johnston Count Dracula..................Jeremiah Miller Dr. Arthur Seward..................Pasquale Grasso Dr. Van Helsing..................Clifford Catania Lucy Westenra..................Katherine Campbell Mina Harker..................Nicole Weerbrouck Music and Sound Effects provided by SoundCrate Special Thanks To Tim Bena Mike Garland Jeremiah Miller Nicole Weerbrouck Theater of the Seventh Sister Millersville University Theatre
