The Bannerman Castle Trust will present the return of Dracula: The Journal of Jonathan Harker on Bannerman Island from September 16 through September 27, 2026. Adapted by Jim Helsinger, the outdoor theatrical production is staged in front of the historic Bannerman Residence.
Performances begin at 8 p.m., with audience members arriving via the tour boat RV Estuary Steward. Boats depart from the Beacon dock located at 2 Red Flynn Drive, opposite the Metro-North train station, with departure times scheduled for 6 p.m. and 7 p.m.
The 6 p.m. boat departure includes a guided tour of the island upon arrival, while the 7 p.m. departure offers a presentation about the island’s history following the performance. Each performance accommodates 88 audience members.
Directed by Christian Conn, the one-man show stars actor Duane Boutté as Jonathan Harker. The narrative details Harker’s escape from Castle Dracula and his subsequent efforts alongside Van Helsing to stop the undead Count.
Tickets cost $75, with prime seating priced at $80, covering the round-trip boat cruise, island access, and show entry. Ticket proceeds support ongoing structural restoration projects managed by the Bannerman Castle Trust on the island.
