Little Shop of Horrors tells the story of a downtrodden nerd named Seymour Krelborn who lives in the basement of his workplace, Mushnik’s Flower Shop in Skid Row. Mr. Mushnik treats Seymour like dirt, causing Seymour to bemoan his fate: “I keep askin’ God what I’m for, And He tells me ‘Gee, I’m not sure.’”

The other employee at the “God and customer forsaken store” is the blonde bimbo Audrey, with whom Seymour is hopelessly in love. Audrey secretly fantasizes about living a life with Seymour as her husband, but doesn’t reveal her dreams because her boyfriend, a sadistic dentist named Orin Scrivello, D.D.S, wouldn’t like it. For Seymour, everything is about to change. A strange and exotic plant he recently bought is beginning to blossom into something the likes of which no one has ever before seen…

This affectionate spoof of 1950’s sci-fi movies is a hilarious and side-splitting musical. This production features Dan Berger, Wendy Vogel, Ray Lebowski, Jay D. Benson, Tony Wright, Anna Futoran, Cicely Tutson, TeQuanna Colvin and Aretta Baumgartner.

Performance dates: May 5, 6, 12, 13, 19, and 20 at 8:00 p.m.
Tickets are $15.00 for Adults and $12.00 for Students and Seniors.
