“Dracula” is Coming to CSN
Afternoon benefit features Broadway performers from the Las Vegas
Strip
The dramatic music and story of Dracula will be on stage Oct. 18 and
19 at the College of Southern Nevada’s Performing Arts Center. The uniquely
designed performances will be held at 2 p.m. each day in the Nicholas
J. Horn Theatre, located on the Cheyenne Campus.
Composed by Richard Oberacker, conductor of Cirque de Soleil’s “Ka,”
the staged reading concert features a 15-piece orchestra and 22-25
performers, all of whom are working in shows on the Las Vegas
Strip.
The CSN Performing Arts Center and Family Promise of Las
Vegas have partnered to produce the show, which is a benefit for each
organization and will include a silent auction before each
performance.
The show’s director Carmen Yurich notes, “The response we’ve
received from the singers and musicians from the Las Vegas-based Broadway shows
has been phenomenal. Because the event benefits such worthwhile causes,
everyone has been very generous with their time and talent.”
Family Promise is a non-profit organization that assists homeless
families in the Las Vegas valley to achieve lasting independence by helping the
community mobilize to provide safe shelter, meals, and support services for
them.
The Performing Arts Center’s share of the proceeds will go into its
“Friends of the Horn” account which is used to enhance productions by bringing
in guest artists and more diverse programming for the students and the
community.
“We appreciate CSN’s willingness to host this event,” says Bruce Ewing
the show’s co-producer and board member of Family Promise. “Both of our
organizations share the mission of a desire to build a stronger community and
improve the quality of life for residents of southern Nevada.”
VIP tickets for each show are $50 and will include preferred
seating and a post-show reception with the performers. Second tier seating
is $30. Tickets are available at the CSN Box Office at 651-LIVE
(5483) or online at www.FamilyPromiseLVTickets.com.
The CSN Performing Arts Center is located at 3200 E. Cheyenne Ave. one
mile east of I-15.
