The seductive, scary and tragic soul of Stoker’s beloved novel is told through faithful dialogue and moving theatricality – which can be adapted for stages large and small. This new adaptation restores the suspense and seduction of Bram Stoker’s classic novel to the stage.As Count Dracula begins to exert his will upon the residents of London, they try to piece together the clues of his appearances in a valiant attempt to save themselves from a hideous fate. Rich with both sensuality and horror, this play paints a wickedly theatrical picture of Stoker’s famous vampire.

The Greenbelt Arts Center presents:
Sweat
by Lynn Nottage
directed by Bob Kleinberg

April 10 – 25, 2026

Location: Greenbelt Arts Center

Taking place in two time periods – Spring through Fall of 2000 and Fall of 2008 – the story revolves around a bar where a small group of factory workers in a small town in Pennsylvania spend time together discussing their lives, sharing secrets and laughs and of course, drinks. In response to the owners of a manufacturing factory deciding to pressure the workforce into concessions on wages and benefits, the workforce has decided to strike. Consequently, the owners have decided to bring in “scabs” to break the strike, thus setting the stage for conflicts involving economic strain and race relations, working-class disillusionment and personal shame, regret, and the difficulty in forgiving others, all playing out through the group of friends who meet regularly at the bar.

This Pulitzer Prize-winning drama is a masterful depiction of the forces that divide and conquer us. Yet along with the rage, despair and violence, there’s humor and abundant humanity. It is a cautionary tale of what happens when you don’t know how to resist, and provides a cautionary tale to all of us in the changing political, social and economic climate.

Tickets: $24 General Admission, $22 Seniors/Military, $12 Student/Youth. Buy tickets here.
