Ogden Musical Theatre presented a production of "Dracula" at Peery’s Egyptian Theater from Oct. 15-19, 2026, according to an Oct. 20 report by The Ogdenite.
The production was adapted by Jennifer Westfall from the novel by Bram Stoker and directed by Maddie Tarbox.
Connor Padilla performed as Count Dracula in the production. The performance featured music and video design by Ryan Bruckman and scenic design by Wendall Peery. Citlali Urquiza served as the costume designer.
The production utilized a sound crew that employed glowing red lights and high-volume speakers to create a sensory experience during the finale.
The play featured a transformation for the character of Dracula. He began the production appearing as a rotting corpse with long, white hair and transitioned through various stages of youth and beauty, including wearing black and silver court garb and a vest, as he interacted with victims.
This production marks the third annual Ogden Musical Theatre holiday special. Padilla previously appeared in WSU productions of "Five Carols for Christmas," "The Comedy of Oedipus," and "The Lion in Winter."
