Dracula: A Feminist Revenge Fantasy, Really

Caitlin recently appeared in Gem City Groundling’s MacBeth, Beavercreek Community Theatre’s Angel Street and Dayton Theatre Guild’s Woman In Black and The Enchanted Cottage. She appeared on Broadway in the first revival of Cabaret w/Joel Grey and in national tours of Cabaret, The American Dancemachine and La Cage Aux Folles. Caitlin has performed regionally; in the South Florida theatre scene, entertaining on ships, and as a resident company member at Mountain Playhouse for more than a decade. She is a proud Resident Artist with The Human Race Theatre Company. Love to Joe, Leo and the critters (one of whom is a 14-year-old Siamese mix named Renfield!)

Angelique (she/her) is thrilled to be making her Human Race Theatre Company debut! She was last in the Ohio area, working with Cincinnati Playhouse in the Park in their production of A Christmas Carol. She has worked at regional theaters across the country, including the Utah Shakespeare Festival, Clarence Brown Theatre, Cincinnati Shakespeare Company, and Elm Shakespeare Company, as well as OK-Broadway with New York Classical Theatre. Some of her favorite moments onstage have been playing The Narrator in Every Brilliant Thing, Diana and Lady Dumaine in All’s Well That Ends Well, Janet in Polishing Shakespeare, and Jane Bennet in Pride and Prejudice. Whether performing in shows, teaching future generations, or intimacy directing, she hopes to create art that fosters community and deepens her and others’ ability to love, empathize, and understand the world around them. That is just what this production does! To follow her on this journey, check out her Instagram, @angelique.i.archer, or her website, www.angeliquearcher.com!
