"Little Shop" performs for sold-out audiences
The first production of the school year brought humor and horror to the stage.
Based on a 1950s B-movie, Little Shop of Horrors chronicles the story of a man-eating plant on its quest for world domination. Full of catchy tunes and camp, while raising questions of morality and ambition, this musical entertained three nights of audiences. The two weekend performances were sold-out shows in the new theater!
Little Shop of Horrors premiered on Thursday, November 3 and ran through Saturday the 5th in the Robert R. Jay Performing Arts Center. Prior to the Thursday show, Saint John’s own Spanish teacher and florist extraordinaire, Mr. Al DeLuca, presented an exotic floral arranging demonstration on stage.
