Frau Dracula

Synopsis:
Frau Dracula is an eclectic updating of Bram Stoker's classic Dracula. Borrowing liberally from 1930s horror films, gender mirroring, and a dash of steampunk esthetics, the show is a fun, sexy and wicked retelling of Dracula. Set just before the beginning of World War II, Baroness Von Dracula, or as she prefers, Frau Dracula, is living in Prussia and she makes the journey to england to claim Lucian Seward as her own. Standing in her way is Lucian's fiancee Fredericka (FrEddie) Harker and a Dutch professor named Wilhelmina Van Helsing. aided by her helpers Olga and Helga and a group of seven deadlies, until recently a group of english school girls, Dracula has brought an army to bear on Dr. Seward's sanatorium.

Maiden's Progeny

Synopsis:
Frederick M Winship (UPI' writes regarding MaIDeN'S PROGeNY, "It was high time that someone wrote a play about Mary Cassatt, the only American member of the original Impressionist coterie of artists. Le Wilhelm, has met the challenge with flying colors with MaIDeN'S PROGeNY." This intellectually entertaining Drama takes the audience to Cassatt's chateau outside Paris on a spring afternoon when Wynford Johnston comes calling uninvited. What follows is living discussion, of two very head strong individuals, that ultimately results in an understanding and growth in both characters. Never falling into the category of a lecture, this play provides insight and understanding of the art and times at the dawning of the 20th century.
