‘Little Shop of Horrors’ at Truckee High

Truckee High School’s Drama Department ends its 2013-14 season with “Little Shop of Horrors,” a grand-scale production that features a flesh eating plant, do-wop and pop music, and a man who gets more than he bargains for.

The musical will have evening performances in the THS theater at 7pm on May 2, 3, 9, 10, 16 and 17. Matinee shows take place at 2pm on May 4 and May 11.

The musical follows the life of Seymour Krelborn, a floral assistant on Skid Row, who purchases an exotic plant with a mysterious need for human flesh. As Seymour seeks the affection of his coworker, Audrey, he also battles for control over his increasingly bloodthirsty plant, Audrey II. The plant quickly grows beyond what Krelborn imagined and turns into a bad mannered, R&B singing, vulgar carnivore.

Advance tickets go on sale at Truckee High School library and the Truckee Community Center on April 8. Tickets for assigned seats are $15 for adults and $10 for students. Cash or check only.
