Foley Schuler had a fun time in the studio speaking with Trent Klairter and Will Silvey—Director and Assistant Director of Muskegon Civic Theatre's production of Dracula: A Comedy of Terrors. You can listen to the conversation on-demand here!

Just in time for Halloween, Muskegon Civic Theatre presents Dracula: A Comedy of Terrors —a fast-placed mash-up that puts Bram Stoker’s legendary vampire tale and into a blender with Mel Brooks, Monty Python, and The 39 Steps. In this lightning-fast, laugh-out-loud, 90-minute, gender-bending romp, when Mina falls ill with a mysterious disease of the blood, Lucy Westfeldt and her fiancé, Jonathan Harker, enlist the help of famed female vampire hunter Doctor Jean Van Helsing. Their hunt for the dangerous and sexy Count Dracula abounds with clever wordplay and quick-change antics. Five actors play over a dozen roles in this bloodcurdlingly hilarious send-up of the literary classic.

Performances run October 10-25 at the Beardsley Theater. For further information and tickets, click here.

Encouraged by creative parents, Foley began his music career at age 7, studying violin with Jean Manning at North Muskegon Public Schools. As a Blue Lake Fine Arts Camp camper, he became Blue Lake Public Radio’s first high school intern. Foley earned an English Literature degree from Hope College, and Masters in Fine Arts degree in Creative Writing from the Warren Wilson College. He has performed with the West Michigan (formerly West Shore) Symphony; served on the English Department faculty at Muskegon Community College, and been the Music, Art & Theatre reviewer for the Muskegon Chronicle. He follows his love of the arts around the globe, but says, “There is no place like the Blue Lake setting, sharing extraordinary music with our listeners.” Foley hosts Blue Lake Public Radio’s weekday classical music from 1 to 4 p.m. and “Sunday on Blue Lake”.
