Davey Bobzin (Count Dracula) -
Davey Bobzin of Mascoutah has always had a problem with drifting off into the land of Pretend. He grew up in a rural area with plenty of woods and farmland. This open space provided a large stage. The heroes, or villains, of the movies and storybooks came to life there. When he was asked to play a woodsman by one of his elementary teachers, he was confused by what she meant. Once he understood what an actor was, he was hooked. Each time a chance to perform came up, he figured out a way to get in. Throughout elementary and high school, he performed various characters, but found that his favorite characters were the weird ones. Even if it was a supporting character with no lines, he was fine with that. Davey has performed at Southwestern Illinois College in “The Fantasticks,” “Last Days of Good Ol Bill,” “All of Us One,” “Cinderella” (a radio play) and many short plays for the children’s touring theater group. His most recent performance was Papa Bear for the Itty Bitty Theatre Company in Belleville, at Art on the Square. After calling it quits for years and having the itch to return to theatre, “The Passion of Dracula” marks his first play for this decade. And he’s loving it. He would like to thank his daughter, Madalyn, for her persistence in getting him to audition and the joyful support she has shown.
