Murder,
mystery, intrigue, romance … and a giant talking plant. Expect
to enjoy thrills, chills, and a lot of laughs in “Little Shop of
Horrors.” This musical comedy mingles the fun of do-wop with
the mystique of Hollywood’s B-horror movies in a unique combination
that was an instant Broadway classic. And a musical in our May
slot will let us sing and dance our way from Skid Row to The
Playhouse stage!

& choreographed by
Terri Brockmann.

Ken
Ludwig’s newest hilarious comedy (author of
Lend Me a
Tenor
and
Moon Over Buffalo)
is set in 1950’s York, Pennsylvania. When
Jack
and
Leo,
down on their luck English actors, learn that a
dying millionairess
is leaving
her fortune to her long lost English relatives, Max and Stephen,
they decide to pose as her nephews. But there is a problem. Max and
Stephen are Maxine and Stephanie. But that doesn’t deter Jack and
Leo. Romantic entanglements ensue as Jack and Leo change back and
forth between their female alter egos to enable Leo to woo
Meg,
another niece, and Jack to romance
Audrey,
a ditzy waitress. All of this under constant danger of exposure by
the local
Reverend
(engaged to Meg), the
Doctor,
and
Butch,
Audrey’s beau. |

A mysterious valet ushers
three people into a shabby hotel room. As the door locks behind
them, an eternity of damnation lies ahead. What they soon discover
is that hell isn’t fire and brimstone at all – it’s other people.
Written in 1944, Jean-Paul Sartre’s No
Exit is a tense psychological drama that explores power,
confinement, and deception.

Dan Pivovar |
