PLOT: A vampire (David Alan Scott Jr.) wreaks havoc in an asylum. A musical comedy, based on the Dracula legend.

HISTORY: The last two days of spring classes that semester were spent performing this play, which was put on by Clare and all the members of her acting class.
The play was written with six songs, but two of them ("We're Odd, We're Odd" and "Let Me Love You Tonight") were cut out for being extremely lame.
Laura Fusare was unable to play Mrs. Half-Nelson for the second performance because she was also performing "The Heidi Chronicles" at the Clemens Center in Elmira. So, Clare took her place for that night's show.
An odd show, but fun to do, and a lot funnier than Mel Brook's then-recent "Dracula: Dead and Loving It" movie.
