The Atlantic City Ballet presents an extraordinary family-friendly performance this fall at Caesars Circus Maximus Theater in Atlantic City: the return of the acclaimed “Dracula” on Thursday, Oct. 30. The performance begins at 7 p.m. and this year’s event will feature a costume contest for audience members. The Atlantic City Ballet is inviting guests of all ages to dress in costume for this year’s “Dracula.” The costume contest will feature first, second and third prize winners for both the adult and children’s categories. The six winning contestants will be awarded prizes after the performance.
Audience members can experience the thrill of “Dracula,” one of the company’s most celebrated original works. Papa’s choreography brings Bram Stoker’s classic tale to life, complete with sensuous costumes, theatrical sets, and a gripping score. This ballet has become a Halloween tradition and one of the most popular productions in Atlantic City Ballet’s 43-year history.
“Our fall season is designed to stir the soul and ignite the imagination,” said Phyllis Papa, Artistic Director of Atlantic City Ballet. “With the dramatic tension of ‘Dracula,’ audiences will experience an unforgettable evening of dance, music, and storytelling.”
Founded in 1982, by international ballerina Phyllis Papa, the Atlantic City Ballet is comprised of professional dancers from around the world. Although their home base is in Historic Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City, the Ballet has performed in theaters all along the East Coast and across the country. Their repertoire of original works includes such classics as “A Midsummer Night’s Dream,” “Sleeping Beauty” and “Swan Lake,” but Ms. Papa is most known for her innovative works such as “Dracula,” “Caught Up In The Swing,” and her full-length “Carmen.” Since its inception, the Atlantic City Ballet has served as one of the cultural treasures of New Jersey and continues a tradition of dance excellence for future generations of ballet audiences.
