July 16 - August 1
(previews July 14 & 15)

A musical creature-feature that combines early rock and roll, doo-wop and Motown
to tell the story of a hapless florist shop worker who discovers an unusual plant...
with an even more unusual appetite! Funny and touching and just enough spooky,
join Seymour, a deranged dentist, the alluring Audrey, and the audacious Audrey II
for this zany production that's absolutely out of this world!
