When Seymour Krelborn finds a truly strange and interesting plant, is it the start of a wonderful new life for him and for Audrey, the girl of his dreams?
Is Mr. Mushnik right to be sceptical? Or is this the start of something really big? Find out the amazing truth when Theatre Quadra presents Little Shop of Horrors (book and lyrics by Howard Ashman, music by Alan Menken) at the Quadra Island Community Centre on April 27, 28 and 29.
Tickets are on sale now at the Music Plant in Campbell River and at Hummingbird Office and Art Supply and the Heriot Bay Inn on Quadra.
Curtain time is 8 p.m. on Friday and Saturday and 2 p.m. on Sunday, April 29 at the Community Centre. Please be seated ten minutes before the performance starts.
Directed by Candace Holmes and produced by Heidi Ridgway with music direction by Linda Cannon, Little Shop stars Guy Holmes as Seymour, Kate Sivils as Audrey, Paul Ryan as Mushnik, Hardy Sivils as Dr. Orin Scrivello, and Maureen Fox, Dawn MacDonald and Rabecca Gooljar as Crystal, Chiffon and Ronnette. George Mostert grooves as the hungry, but musical, Audrey II, while a talented chorus fill out the smaller roles and the big song and dance routines.
With the band, puppeteers and production crew, over 50 Islanders have thrown their energy, talents and commitment into the Quadra community theatre’s spring production.
