Dracula is recommended for ages 16 and up due to its graphic and sexually suggestive nature.

Immediately following the extension of A Midsummer Night’s Dream, Synetic will reinvent and restage one of the most successful productions in its history. A smash hit both at The Kennedy Center and at the Rosslyn Spectrum, Dracula is back with fresh energy and vigor. Company member Dan Istrate performs the title role in a show featuring some of Synetic's most heart-pounding choreography and drama. From vampiric wolves howling in the Transylvanian night to the erotic blood-lust of the demonic Count and his consorts, this is a Dracula that is not to be missed.
