Little Shop of Horrors at Shoreline Community College

Little Shop of Horrors, a deviously delicious Broadway sci-fi smash musical, has devoured the hearts of theater goers everywhere. Seymour, a meek flower shop assistant stumbles across a strange plant he names “Audrey II”, after his co-worker crush. This foul-mouthed carnivore promises unending fame and fortune to the down and out Seymour as long as he keeps feeding it - blood.

Our production of Little Shop will feature custom-built puppets—(Avenue Q/Sesame Street style, in the leading roles of Audrey, Seymour, Mushnik and Orin— to reflect our modern understanding that a voice and soul is not pre-determined by the skin it resides in.

Director’s Notes:
I’m very excited to create a chance for actors to audition for the roles that speak to their soul and vocal range, regardless of gender, race, age or any other identity factor that might normally cause them to feel disqualified from consideration.
