Oct 22, 2015 | 12:23 PM

A classic creepy love story is making its way to the E.A. Rawlinson Centre stage in Prince Albert.

Odyssey Productions will present Bram Stoker’s Dracula this Thursday to Saturday as part of their 24th season in the city.

Artistic director Roxanne Dicke said they will be telling the classical story of the traditional Dracula from Transylvania.

“We’re at the (E.A. Rawlinson Centre) so we have access to some wonderful technical support, so we have a lot of sound effects and a lot of lighting effects,” Dicke explained.

She said it’s a very atmospheric show.

“It’s thrilling, it’s spooky, but it’s also in the end a bit of a love story between Dracula and Mina. So it’s beautiful and scary and perfect timing for Halloween.”

There will be around 15 performers in the production along with a large crew helping behind the scenes.

“The company is strong, it’s been around a long time, and a lot of people have come through and gone on to actual careers in acting,” said Dicke. “Some are just wonderful community members that love it and are passionate about it.

“They’re a tireless crew, they’re a strong and committed group of people that make this theater happen every year.”

Tickets for the production of Dracula are available at the E.A. Rawlinson Centre or by going to Odyssey Productions website

Dicke said there will even be a meet and greet with the performers and crew following their opening night on Thursday.

For Friday and Saturday shows they are also offering a dinner theatre option.
