On Wednesday, August 21 families with children on the Autism Spectrum or with needs that may make attending live theater difficult, will be admitted free as guests of TWN. The Wizard of Oz continues through August 24.
Opening on Wednesday, August 14, with an opening night party before the show, is Edwin Gorey’s Dracula. Forty years ago, Gorey’s play premiered on Nantucket—a production that was originally conceived and produced by American scenic designer, producer, director, and former Nantucket resident, John Wulp. Wulp’s production moved to Broadway, earning him a Tony for Best Revival, and a nomination for Frank Langella in the title role. TWN’s artistic director, John Shea, who was in the 1973 production and who will direct this revival, is excited to bring this thrilling classic back to the Nantucket stage.
