Final Days for Vampire of Cripple Creek. Performing at the Butte Theater from now until Nov. 2, this fall/Halloween show and A Green Glass Production, which debuted on Oct. 3, is bound to captivate audiences. In the shadow of the Colorado Rockies, the once-grand Collins Hotel stands abandoned, its halls heavy with secrets. When a strange illness begins to drain the life from Mina Seward, those who attempt to help her disappear or meet untimely ends. Enter Count Dracula, the hotel’s enigmatic new owner—charming, calculating, and with a chilling interest in Mina. As Doc Van Helsing and Jonathan Harker search for answers, something ancient stirs in the hotel’s darkened corridors. The sun sets, and the true horror begins in this thrilling adaptation of Bram Stoker’s Dracula.
