OK, I’m not a big horror movie buff, but if I had to pick a favorite monster, it would be a vampire; maybe a handsome werewolf, but surely not one

Meet Bailey Ré, who will play "date" in Night Terrors: Blood Date on Trade Street. Bailey is an Italian-born, North Carolina-raised actress with a passion for both stage and screen.
Since the age of twelve, Bailey has been actively involved in the world of performance. She was most recently on stage in the role of Young Belle in The Little Theatre of Winston Salem's production of "A Christmas Carol." Screen credits include a starring role as Julie in the music video "Julie is Gun Crazy" by The Blusterfields and a recent appearance in a commercial for the North Carolina Education Lottery.
Bailey is looking forward to bringing the role of DATE to life and is excited to be a part of this project. When not on stage or filming, Bailey enjoys spending quality time with her daughter, indulging in delicious pasta, and performing aerial silks.

Meet Dan Beckmann, who will be playing the Director of the Night Terrors show in our upcoming film Night Terrors: Blood Date on Trade Street.
Dan is an Actor, Director, Singer, Dancer, Audio Engineer, Filmmaker, Award-Winning Photographer and Mediocre Poker Rat based in Winston-Salem North Carolina -- and he is psyched to watch the blood dribble as a part of this unique and locally-grown film!
Dan spends most of his time touring the country as half of performance duo Letters From Home, a USO-inspired jukebox experience which he performs with his wife Erinn (who is also a part of this sterling cast.) He also serves as artistic Director for Spring Theatre, a youth-oriented theatre company in Winston-Salem which is currently working on expanding to New Mexico and Kenya in the coming year.
Dan would like you to give all of your money to this project without a second thought. "Go on, it'll feel nice," he says. "See you on Trade Street!"
