 After so much hard work, we have all been super excited to see Dracula open. As we all know, light really makes a set come alive! Below is a shot of the Lucy suite: 
 The puppet as it rises in front of the full moon, complete with glowing red eyes.  The puppet unfurls! And here comes a batwing! 
 Lucy's Tomb!  And here is the coffin complete with painted crest washed up on the rocks. Below are some additional shots. Click to enlarge. All of these and the above photos are courtesy of Julie Curry Photography.        Of course, I HAD to make opening night cupcakes! Inspired by Dracula, I made these uber-cool vampire bitten cupcakes.  They were filled with strawberry filling - so they bled when a person bit into them!  Made from scratch! I even made a gluten free batch, which I liked even better than the traditional recipe. Delicious! Just ask Leah Busse!  The IRT has a really cool policy of allowing the audience to come up on stage after the opening night performance to take an up-close look at the set. Staff members from each department hang out and wear their name badges so they can answer any questions.  Master Carpenter Betty Rupp answers questions about the finale trick coffin. We should have started charging people to get their picture taken in it!   People love it, and so do we~!  People were even allowed backstage so they could see and touch all the other cool props and set pieces. Happy Opening, everyone! Congrats on a great show!
