Fall Play - "Dracula: A Comedy of Terrors" Character Descriptions: 

- COUNT DRACULA (Male-identifying Role): Commanding European dialect. Hugely sexy, magnetically handsome, rock star presence with a killer body, he is a narcissist whose greatest love is himself - and his leather pants. Bored with women falling all over him, he becomes obsessed with Lucy when he hears of her strength and adventurousness. The less she needs him, the more interested he is. He travels to Whitby to find her and make her his bride for eternity.

- JONATHAN HARKER (Male-identifying Role):  British dialect. Prim and proper and obsessive-compulsive real estate agent, frightened of his own shadow. Engaged to his childhood crush Lucy Westfeldt and enamored of her fearlessness. Once bitten he loosens up...a lot... and becomes a Tom Jones-style rock star in leather pants.

- LUCY WESTFELDT (Female-identifying Role): British dialect. Brilliant, plucky earth scientist daughter of Dr. Westfeldt, she is full of energy and the spirit of adventure and often underestimated because of her beauty. Engaged to Jonathan, but when Dracula moves to Whitby, she is curious about his strange ways and impressed by their similar interests.

- MINA WESTFELDT (Any gender-identity to play Female): British dialect. The less attractive, less intelligent Westfeldt daughter, she lives in her sister Lucy’s shadow and is desperate for attention. She is immediately (pathetically) receptive to Dracula's charms.

- DR. WALLACE WESTFELDT (Male-identifying Role): British dialect. Lucy and Minas father, a blowhard; self-important misogynist given to proclamations and posturing with his pipe. A doctor caring for the criminally insane, he has recently lost his wife to consumption.

- DR. VAN HELSING (Female-identifying Role): German dialect a la Mel Brooks. Brilliant and sturdy German vampire-hunting doctor from the University of Schmutz. Deadly serious in the way Germans can be, she is accustomed to people not believing she is a real doctor. Strong, shmart, unt bold, she is a woman of action.

- RENFIELD (Any gender-identity Role): Cockney dialect and salivary issues. Insane patient of Dr. Westfeldt who lives to serve and loves to eat bugs. In a word, the dude is nuts.

- FEATURED ENSEMBLE (All gender-identities): Will play multiple roles in the show such as narrators, bats, and the following roles: KITTY RUTHERFORD, LORD CAVENDISH, LORD WORTHINGTON, LORD HAVEMERCY, DRIVER, CAPTAIN, BOSUN, GRAVEDIGGER
