MEET THE CAST: FRANK SQUILLO
As a husband, father of two, owner of Wanda's Cafe + Bakery, President of the Riverbend Players' board, and Chair of the Manzanita Planning Commission, Frank stays busy but always finds time for his passion, theater. He's excited to be performing for a change while getting set to direct the Riverbend Players' first-ever holiday musical, WINTER WONDERETTES, in December.

Riverbend Players Community Theater invites you to experience Bram Stoker’s legendary tale of terror in a completely different way with DRACULA: THE RADIO PLAY, adapted by Philip Grecian.

Step back into the golden age of radio as our cast brings Dracula to life live on stage, complete with dramatic performances, multiple character voices, live sound effects, and all the atmosphere of an old-time radio broadcast.

Close your eyes, and you’ll swear you’re listening to a broadcast from another era. Keep them open, and you’ll get to see exactly how the magic and the terror are created.

📍 NCRD Performing Arts Center • Nehalem

Whether you’re a fan of classic horror, live theater, old-time radio, or you’re simply looking for a great night out on the Oregon
Coast, this is one you won’t want to miss.

We are closed today, Thursday, September 17th, due to scheduled construction and paving on 9th Street in Nehalem, which will close the street next to us, reroute traffic, create loud noise, and create a huge mess while blacktop is being poured. UGH!
