The 10th Anniversary Season: “Dracula”
October 23, 2011
The Great Horror Classic Comes to Life
Join us in celebrating Halloween a little early as we bring Bram Stroker’s horror classic to life in our recreation of the Canadian Broadcasting Company’s 1949 broadcast of Dracula.
The story of Count Dracula has been the subject of many films and plays, and this particular version is especially chilling. We hope you will join us.
Those Thrilling Days of Yesteryear is a radio troupe comprised of professional actors and voice-over artists and has been providing top-notch entertainment to Oak Park Arms residents and the near by community for 10 years.
Admission is free and it's fun for the whole family.
