Presented by the WWR Drama Club, the play: a thrilling adaption from Bram Stoker's Tale of Terror written by Stephen Hockner, was a rather unique way to spend the Halloween week-end. Reserve's version was directed by senior Barb Starnes and advised by Mr. Tom Hitmar. Although the first performance of Dracula was Thur., Oct. 29 1981, work on the production began only two weeks after the first day of school. While Barb Starnes was busy directing the actors who were busy learning their characters and stage directions, Mr. Tom Hitmar and stage manager Beth Boyer fand a few others who helped outj were busy nailing together and painting the set. At the same time, Miss Sue Frederick and her small crew took measurements and gathered up patterns and material to make the costumes, while 1981 graduate Tom Namola came back from YSU to teach Tom Marshalic how to design and control the stage lighting. The play itself was a mixture of talent. It was this combination of old and new actors and actresses, that made Dracula 1981 a success. The Dracula Cast Ionathan Harker ...................
