You are invited to experience the gothic grandeur of Bram Stoker’s Dracula on the big screen at the historic Capitol Theatre. Guests may purchase tickets to the film alone, but for those who wish to go beyond the screen, Wandering Lantern Productions has created an immersive VIP experience you dare not miss: a Vampire Ball.
Beginning at 6:00pm, VIP guests are welcomed into the theatre as it transforms into a decadent, candlelit gathering of the undead. Guests are encouraged to arrive in their most decadent vampiric attire. Between the music, the dancing, and the specialty beverages and cocktails, guests can expect to cross paths with roaming performers and familiar, shadowed figures from the film. With various immersive photo-ops throughout the space, there is every opportunity to capture the night’s transformations.
As the ball draws to a close, our VIP guests will join the rest of the audience for a screening of Bram Stoker’s Dracula, which begins at 8:00pm.
Whether you choose the classic film experience or indulge in the full evening of spectacle, this is a night designed to linger long after the credits roll.
