Wildcat Theatre Company to present ‘Dracula’

The Wildcat Theatre Company presents Bram Stoker’s Dracula, written by Stephen Dietz, as its first full scale production.

“After decades of budget cuts, the district is able to add back some electives, and we are resurrecting the theatre program. We have added two additional theatre classes and speech. Our goal is to produce three shows a year including a musical in the spring as well as Panic,” Amelia Nichols, group instructor/sponsor, said.

Three performances are set, all beginning at 7 p.m., in the High School Howell Auditorium located at 927 North Fifth, on Thursday, October 31; Friday, November 1; and Saturday, November 2.

Tickets are available on MySchoolBucks.com or can be purchased at the door. Adult tickets are $8 and students with an ID are $5. This production is rated PG-13.

The Wildcat Theatre Company was started at Ponca City High School for students interested in doing theatre. Students do not have to be in a theatre class in order to work on a production. In addition, they attend local area productions as a group. Most recently, the class went to see Fools at the Ponca Playhouse and Sweeney Todd at Town and Gown Theatre in Stillwater.
