Bloodsuckers! is a musical comedy by award-winning Manitoba playwright and composer, Joseph Aragon. Joseph is a two-time winner of the Harry Rintoul Memorial Award for Best New Manitoban Play, and his musical Bloodless: The Trial of Burke & Hare received a Dora Mavor Moore Award nomination for Outstanding New Musical. The ADM is so proud to be presenting the work of this incredible local talent for this year’s musical fundraiser.

The musical is fast paced and filled with campy, cheesy, musical theatre fun, but it isn’t without its dramatic moments either, highlighting Aragon’s ability to write and compose both comedy and drama. The story centres around a group of greedy American theme park developers who travel to Romania to negotiate plans for “Dracula Land” with a Transylvania landholder named Vlad. Singing, dancing, and bloodletting ensue.

Suitable for general audiences.
Running Time: Approx. 2hrs (including intermission)
