Fun fact: Dracula’s never been funnier. Sacramento’s B Street Theatre opens the theatrical coffin on Dracula: A Comedy of Terrors—a gleefully silly spoof playing at The Sofia from August 6–31, 2025.
In this uproarious adaptation by Gordon Greenberg and Steve Rosen, we meet history’s most hapless real estate agent on a mission: to sell a castle—only to discover his client is the legendary Count Dracula. The clash of worlds unleashes rapid-fire jokes, slapstick, and gender-bending roles in a 2-hour non-stop farce with no intermission.
At the heart of the mayhem is Kevin Kantor, delivering a vampiric performance as Dracula that’s affectionate, campy, and defiantly theatrical. The rest of B Street’s Core Acting Company—Greg Alexander, Stephanie Altholz, Amy Kelly, and John Lamb—brings razor-sharp comedic timing under director Tara Sissom‑Pittaro’s witty direction.
What to expect: expect chorus moments of chaos, puns galore, and Dracula’s dramatic entrance—complete with a twist on Victorian horror and a wink at Monty Python–style satire. The production embodies comedic horror at its most entertaining, turning gothic trappings upside down with affectionate parody.
When to go: The show offers evening performances Thurs–Sun, weekend matinees, previews on Aug 6–7, and special Talkback Tuesdays mid-run. Because seats sell fast, especially during later weeks, early booking is wise.
Venue perks: The Sofia offers an intimate experience—250-seat Mainstage and a social courtyard, ideal for a pre-show drink and post-show chatter. Centrally located on Capitol Ave, it’s easily accessible with nearby dining and parking options.
If you enjoy zombies in silly rotation, monsters served with hilarity, and a night that’s as spooky as it is side-splitting, grab your tickets now. Dracula: A Comedy of Terrors at B Street Theatre promises a hilariously haunted night out.
