THE BRIDES OF DRACULA - B3 Theater - October 17-26 2025


by Jessica Weinecke, directed by Ricardo Leon & Amanda Kehrberg

Dracula, the enigmatic vampire who lords over his abandoned castle in the Carpathian mountains, collects brides like trinkets, never caring for their desires. But all that changes when he gets a visit from Jonathan Harker and becomes obsessed with the idea of having Jonathan's fiancee, Mina, and sister, Lucy, for his newest wives. Mina and Lucy, determined to come to Jonathan's rescue, must now evade the clutches of Dracula, all while joining forces with a vampire hunter, learning more about their fellow brides, and coming to terms with their feelings for each other.

All performances will be held at:
Shadow Rock United Church of Christ

ALMOST, MAINE - B3 Theater - February 20-March 1, 2026


by John Cariani, directed by Joey Whelan

Welcome to Almost, Maine, a place that’s so far north, it’s almost not in the United States. It’s almost in Canada. And it’s not quite a town, because its residents never got around to getting organized. So it almost doesn’t exist. One cold, clear, winter night, as the northern lights hover in the star-filled sky above, the residents of Almost, Maine, find themselves falling in and out of love in unexpected and hilarious ways. Knees are bruised. Hearts are broken. But the bruises heal, and the hearts mend—almost—in this delightful midwinter night’s dream.

All performances will be held at:
Shadow Rock United Church of Christ
12861 N 8th Ave, Phoenix, AZ 85029

B3 Theater's 2025/2026 Season!


Much Ado About Nothing 
by William Shakespeare, directed by Joey Whelan
Show Dates: July 25th-August 3rd 2025

Claudio and Hero are set to be wed! To pass the time, Don Pedro concocts a plan to make Benedick and Beatrice put their famous feud to an end and fall in love with each other. But Pedro's sister Joan has a plan of her own to besmirch Hero's name and ruin the wedding. Set in a modern day high school, this production aims to bring Shakespeare's themes about deception and identity into the modern age by examining cliques and the use of social media.
