When your survival is at stake… will you be able to distinguish the monster from the man? Crested Butte Mountain Theatre and Firebird Theatre are proud to start the 2026 season with Dracula – A Feminist Revenge Fantasy, Really. Both terrifying and riotous, Kate Hamill’s imaginative, gender bending “feminist revenge fantasy” is like no Dracula you’ve ever seen, exploring the nature of predators and reinventing the story as a smart, disquieting, and darkly comic drama. Hamill’s signature style and postmodern wit upends this familiar tale of Victorian vampires, driving a stake through the heart of toxic masculinity.

Auditions and Creative Team Openings!

Rolling video auditions for this production of Dracula are being accepted over the month of December. In these self tapes, we ask that auditionees introduce and share a fun fact about themselves as well as a 1-2 minute dramatic monologue or story of their choosing. Additionally, we are also looking for volunteers to join our production’s creative team, especially costume, lighting, and sound designers! Please submit video auditions or creative team inquiries to theatre@cbmountaintheatre.org! If you are uncomfortable with video auditions, feel free to reach out and ask about alternative audition options!

Cast of Characters

DOCTOR VAN HELSING — 40s+. American. A female vampire hunter. She takes no crap from anybody. She is badass – and 19th century men do not, as a rule, appreciate it.

MINA HARKER — 20s-30s. Very smart. Caring. Loyal. Wants to do the right thing.

LUCY WESTENRA — 20s-30s. Bright, funny, vivacious, playful, and mischievous.

MARILLA — 20s-30s. A vampire. More animal than human.

DRUSILLA — 20s-30s. A vampire. More animal than human.

MERCHANT – A merchant looking to make a sale.

RENFIELD — Any age. A madwoman. Worships Dracula. Believes that if she can earn his approval, she will be free.

DRACULA — Late 30s – late 50s. A physically imposing man. He is…. extremely confident. Strong. Funny. Charming. Sexy. You’d like him, reader – no, really, you would.

JONATHAN HARKER — 20s-40s. A nice man. A truly decent man. A lawyer; a man of letters; a slight man; a slightly fussy man. If being unkind, one could say he’s delicate.

DOCTOR GEORGE SEWARD — 30s – 40s. The head physician of a lunatic asylum.
