This spring, hang onto your garlic and your crucifix, and let go of your pre-conceived gender roles. The world’s most famous vampire is landing in Haliburton to drink blood and make love.
Dracula: A Comedy of Terrors by Gordon Greenberg and Steve Rosen first flew onto the New York theatre scene (and TikTok) in 2023, and now, he’s ready to sink his teeth into small-town Canada.
Dracula: A Comedy of Terrors is a bloodcurdlingly hilarious send-up about Bram Stoker's legendary vampire. When her sister Mina falls ill with a mysterious disease of the blood, Lucy Westfeldt and her fiancé, Jonathan Harker, enlist the help of famed vampire hunter Doctor Jean Van Helsing. Their hunt for the dangerous and sexy Count Dracula is a whip-sharp, campy, gender-bending romp where gothic horror meets Monty Python.
Dracula: A Comedy of Terrors will play from April 24-26th at the Northern Lights Performing Arts Pavilion.

Our summer show begins as an ode to the classic Ontario sleepaway camp experience, but ends as something very, very different. Meet The Grown-Ups, by Skylar Fox and Simon Henriques, playing August 14-16 at the Haliburton Legion
The campers are all finally asleep, and the lake is getting quiet. Have a beer; make a s’more; tell a scary story. Figure out what you’re going to have to do in the morning to keep camp fun and safe without letting the kids find out about... well, you’ve seen the news. I just got a notification – they’re getting closer.
Following a group of camp counselors trying to mold the leaders of tomorrow when tomorrow is looking bleaker and bleaker, The Grown-Ups explores the traditions that change us, what it takes for us to change them, and how to change yourself when you’re hopelessly, tragically not prepared for this.
