On stage from Sept. 25-Oct. 19: Dracula: A Comedy of Terrors
Take Bram Stoker’s legendary vampire story and mix it up in the style of Mel Brooks and Monty Python. Then enjoy a lightning-fast, gender-bending comedy featuring lots of wordplay and six actors playing over a dozen roles. When her sister Mina is struck by a mysterious disease of the blood, Lucy Westfeldt and her fiancé enlist the help of famed female vampire hunter Doctor Jean Van Helsing. Could the answer lie with the dangerous — and seriously hot — Count Dracula? Caitlin Lawrence Papp (Queen Gynecia in Head Over Heels) directs.

Our 2025-26 season:
Welcome to City Lights’ 2025–26 season, where humor, heart, and mystery light up the stage. We launch the season with Dracula: A Comedy of Terrors — a madcap twist on a legendary tale. Then, get ready for warmth, nostalgia, and a bit of well-meaning meddling in Over the River and Through the Woods. A deeply personal journey takes center stage in Running After Shadows, a moving solo play about the ghosts that follow us. Suspense ramps up with Dial M for Murder, a razor-sharp thriller packed with twists and turns. The season then ventures into technological territory in anthropology, an innovative new play delving into AI, memory, and the fragile threads of human connection. We wrap things up on a wildly inventive (and darkly hilarious) note with the TikTok musical favorite Ride the Cyclone.
Masks are recommended in the building, and required at select performances of each mainstage show. City Lights recommends but does not require the Covid vaccine and booster. We ask that if any patron is feeling unwell or has any concerning symptoms to please stay home. We’ll be happy to exchange tickets for another performance, free of charge. For more about City Lights’ Covid protocols, which may change at any time as the pandemic evolves, go to cltc.org/covid-protocols.
