Chillicothe Civic Theatre presents “Dracula” this fall. Auditions will be held on July 20th from 6-8pm and July 22nd from 10am-noon at the office of Millhuff-Stang, CPA, Inc.

From the Samuel French website:
Lucy Seward, whose father is the doctor in charge of an English sanitorium, has been attacked by some mysterious illness. Dr. Van Helsing, a specialist, believes that the girl is the victim of a vampire, a sort of ghost that goes about at night sucking blood from its victims. The vampire is at last found to be a cer…tain Count Dracula, whose ghost is at last laid to rest in a striking and novel manner. The play is intended for all who love thrills in the theater, and is appropriate for all groups.
