Thalian Association Community Theatre is pleased to announce the Cast & Creative Team for our production of Steven Dietz’s “Dracula”. The show, with Direction by Joshua Zieseniss and Assistant Direction by Sydney Smith Martin, will run on the Main Stage at Thalian Hall Center for the Performing Arts from September 25-October 4, 2026. Tickets are on sale now at www.thalian.org or by calling 910-632-2285.

Sink your teeth into the ultimate Halloween thrill. Steven Dietz’s electrifying adaptation of the timeless classic seduces with elegance and suspense, transforming the legendary vampire tale into a gripping theatrical experience. Bold, chilling, and wickedly smart, Dracula draws you into a shadowy world where reason clashes with superstition and desire blurs the line between love and danger. As the tension tightens, no one is safe, and nothing is certain—this is a story that keeps you on the edge of your seat, questioning who holds the power… and what darkness lurks just beyond the light.

Viewer discretion is advised for younger audiences and those sensitive to horror elements.

Thalian Association Community Theatre is saddened by the death of Tom Briggs. Tom’s contributions across the country and to the Wilmington Theatre community were innumerable.
As director/choreographer, Tom's affiliations included The O'Neill Theatre Center, Chicago Premiere Society, Dorset Theatre Festival, Actors Theatre of Pennsylvania, Thalian Hall Center for the Performing Arts, Fulton Opera House, Candlewood Playhouse, National Theatre Institute, and as a founding director of the National Theatre Workshop of the Handicapped. As the Producing Artistic Director of St. Bart's Playhouse in NYC, Tom produced over 25 productions, many of which he directed, including an acclaimed production of Rodgers & Hammerstein's rarely produced musical, Allegro. He has served, in various capacities, on the faculties of NYU, Union College and Nicolet College.
As a librettist, he created stage adaptations of State Fair, the last musical produced by the legendary David Merrick (two Tony award nominations), Irving Berlin's Easter Parade, Rodgers & Hammerstein's Cinderella (starring Eartha Kitt and Jamie-Lynn Sigler), The Kennedy Center's Broadway: Three Generations, creating concert versions of Girl Crazy, Bye, Bye Birdie and Side Show, directed by Lonny Price. Tom also provided script continuity for the Irving Berlin r***e The Melody Lingers On, based upon Mary Ellin Barrett's book, Irving Berlin: A Daughter's Memoir. After 30 years in NYC, Tom returned to his roots in community theater as the Artistic Director of Thalian Association, the State Community Theater of North Carolina, founded in 1788, where he was a seven-time honoree as Outstanding Director for his productions of plays and musicals alike.
