Winner of The Elks Playwriting Contest for 2026

An eager young estate agent travels to a remote Transylvanian castle, unknowingly setting off a chain of events that will endanger his young wife and unleash death and devastation on his hometown.

Roger Tipping II and Clay Smith present a remount of Nosferatu: A Shadow Musical, an original musical presented alongside the 1922 silent film, Nosferatu: A Symphony of Horror. Live actors will perform new songs and dialogue, timed to the action of the movie, that preserve the spirit of the original while moving the story in fun and hilarious new directions. After premiering at the Elks in September to enthusiastic audiences and many repeat viewers, it returns for a limited run at Cosmos Theatre Arts.

NOTE: Nosferatu: A Shadow Musical contains horror elements and adult humor. Parental discretion is advised.
