Workhouse Arts Center

<h4>By Steve Rosen and Gordon Greenberg </h4>
This is a “Bram”-new comedy you can really sink your teeth into. Filled with clever wordplay and anything-goes pop culture references, it’s a 90-minute, gender-bending, quick-changing, laugh-out-loud reimagining of the gothic classic, perfect for audiences of all blood types.
In the treacherous mountains of Transylvania, a meek English real estate agent takes a harrowing journey to meet a new and mysterious client, who also just happens to be the most terrifying and ferocious monster the world has ever known: Count Dracula! As famed female vampire hunter Jean Van Helsing and company chase Drac from Transylvania to the British countryside to London and back, their antics are guaranteed to increase your pulse and cause bloodcurdling screams—of laughter.
<h4>Dates: September 6 – October 27 September: Friday, Saturday, 8 pm; Sunday, 2 pm October: Saturday &amp; Sunday, 4 pm</h4>

The Lucy Burns Museum at the Workhouse Arts Center is proud to present the second season of Learning at Lunch, a series illuminating aspects of the former prison’s 91-year history. Each month, we invite an expert to tackle a topic from our complicated past. After a brief 30-minute talk, presenters answer audience questions, and all attendees are invited to visit the museum following the program. Table seating provided and attendees are encouraged to bring their own lunch. Snacks and beverages available for purchase. The Commonwealth played a central role in United States involvement during the Cold War. The location of the Pentagon, CIA and other federal agencies established Northern Virginia as an epicenter of decision-making. As Virginia military bases readied for a potential surprise attack by the Soviet Union, the Lorton Correctional Complex was used to host one of our nation’s Nike Missile sites. Francis Gary Powers Jr., founder and chairman emeritus of the Cold War Museum, worked with the National Park Service and leading Cold War experts to identify historic Cold War sites for commemoration, interpretation and preservation. Join Powers as he discusses his new book Cold War Viriginia and how our site fits in the mix. Books available to purchase on site; signing follows talk.

Get into the spooky spirit of Halloween at the Workhouse Haunt! Back for our 11th season, we’re bringing even more scares (and laughter) to our popular creepy outdoor walk-through trail. Twisted Tales of Terror will lead guests on a frightening journey that brings them along abandoned, historic buildings where they will encounter terrifying characters and sights and sounds that are not for the faint of heart.
<h3>Twisted Tales of Terror Where Fairy Tales Turn into Nightmares</h3>
Within the moonlit landscape, where shadows dance with sinister glee, a dark carnival has risen, adorned with dreadful denizens of the freakshow, their souls as twisted as the maze of corridors they roam. Led by the enigmatic ringleader, they journeyed through the veil of night, collecting fairy tales like trophies to adorn their macabre stage. But in the ringleader's hands, these tales morphed into grotesque parodies of their former selves, where happy endings are mere illusions, and despair reigns supreme.
<h3>Hang Out at the Haunt</h3>
To keep everything moving along, guests will travel in small groups via a timed entry. While waiting for your slot — or after your trail experience — have some Halloween fun with us.
