Interstate travel bans should be ‘lifted immediately’: Treasurer

FAMOUS dinner theatre Dracula’s will open again next month.

The box office opens today with the venue’s staff confirming the plan to welcome customers back on Friday, July 10 – when the medical mask covering the giant skull on the Broadbeach castle will be “ripped” from the building.

Shows will be held on Friday and Saturday nights, with the schedule to be extended in line with easing restrictions.

Operations manager Luke Newman said during the forced downtime due to COVID restrictions, the castle has been “spruced up”.

“Having our entire operation paused for such a long time has really given us an opportunity to look at what we do, focus on best practices for our business, and work on plans to reopen while ticking all the required boxes to be safe and deliver the amazing experience our customers deserve,” Mr Newman said.

“Our entire cast and crew have been continually rehearsing and we have spruced up the castle in the downtime. We were running at record numbers right up until our forced closure and now it is time to bring the audience back, in a COVID safe way of course.”

Appropriate social distancing measures will be in place.

Dracula’s weekly kids party performances “Drax4Kids” will remain closed until further notice.

Dracula’s Box Office opened on Wednesday, June 17 at 10am.
