Lorenzo Lamas to star in Dracula at Premiere Stages
Star to anchor New Jersey Premiere of Dietz’s adaptation
UNION, N.J. -- Premiere Stages at Kean University continues its 2007 season with a sexy and gritty revival of Dracula starring renowned film and television star Lorenzo Lamas. The adaptation, based on Bram Stoker’s famous novel, promises to be the most frightening and hypnotic event of the Halloween season.
The production, as directed by Premiere Stages artistic director, John Wooten, will feature a naturalistic approach to the classic tale. “This is not another musical or comic revival that pokes fun at history’s darkest character” said John Wooten. “Our aim is to transport the audience to 19th century England for a heart pounding ride that provides no escape from the “undead.”
Lamas garnered critical acclaim for his work on Falcon Crest before starring in additional network programs that included Bold and the Beautiful, The Immortal and Renegade. Films include Lethal, Viper and Mask of Death, helping solidify Lamas’s place as a man who promises to love you forever.
Dracula runs from Saturday, October 27 through Saturday, November 3 in Kean University’s Wilkins Theatre. Thursday and Fridays are at 8 p.m.; Sunday at 3 p.m.; and Wednesday and Saturdays at 2 p.m. and 8 p.m. Tickets range from $15 to $25. Patrons with a valid blood-donor card receive “two-for-one” tickets. To order tickets, please call the Kean Stage Box Office at 908-737-SHOW (7469), or visit Premiere Stages online at www.kean.edu/premierestages. Photos are available upon request.
Located on the main campus of Kean University at 1000 Morris Avenue in Union, N.J., Premiere Stages offers affordable prices, air-conditioned facilities and free parking in close proximity to the theaters.
