Florida Rep’s Education Conservatory Program will present “Little Shop of Horrors” Thursday through Sunday, Oct. 5-8, in the Historic Arcade Theatre. Both evening and matinee show times will be offered. Tickets are $30 for adults; $15 for students.
The horror comedy rock musical follows meek plant store attendant Seymour, his co-worker crush Audrey, her cruel dentist of a boyfriend and the man-eating plant that threatens them.
“Little Shop of Horrors” is directed by Monique Caldwell, with music directed by Emily Turtle. The musical will be performed by local Southwest Florida youth ages 12 to 18.
“Our conservatory students are very excited to bring this cult-favorite musical to the stage,” said Caldwell, who is the Florida Rep education program director. “Audiences will love the ‘60s rock, do-wop and Motown music style and be wowed by the talent of the youth performers.”
