-- AUDITION POLICY --
The Director does not give indications as to the type of interpretations that should be given to a character by actors interested in participating. All actors are required to develop their own character and present it. The Director is looking for interesting characters and not classic "Dracula" roles. Thus, roles that are traditionally "older" such as Dracula and Helsing, may well be given to very young actors. The roles will be given to those actors who present a strong and interesting characterization.
