Peery’s Egyptian Theatre, Ogden, Oct, 16-20, 7:30-10 p.m.
It’s the time of year where tales of vampires come to life. Check out one of the originals by heading to Peery’s Egyptian Theatre. The website says: “After a successful run in 2024, Dracula is back! Ogden Musical Theatre is thrilled to present a haunting and immersive production of Dracula, adapted by Jennifer Westfall from Bram Stoker’s iconic novel. This spine-chilling play will take audiences on a journey into the dark and eerie world of Count Dracula, featuring an atmospheric set inspired by the silent film era with monochrome visuals, deep disturbing music, and a Gothic ambiance that heightens the horror.”
