I'm 38 and read this probably between 1993-1997.... when I was between 8-12 years old. I don't think it was a new book at that time.

It was about a young boy and girl who auditioned for a local play where they thought the lead actor was Dracula and tried to solve the mystery of whether he was or wasn't a vampire.

The girl got the part because she had a better stage scream. I remember the young girl saying "it's my peasant girl costume" but that is about it. I believe they only suspected him, and he turned out to be a normal person.

    And here I was thinking the Bailey School kids... although that one is Vampires Don't Wear Polka Dots.

You're describing The Case of the Visiting Vampire by Drew Stevenson.

Where did you come from?” I asked Verna. “And why are you dressed like that?”

“This is my peasant-girl costume. I told you tonight was a dress rehearsal.

Overall your description is very good. A foreign actor is presumed to be a vampire and seen flying around at night as a bat. In the final analysis it turns out that he isn't anything of the sort.
