The North Coast Repertory Theatre continues its 24th Season of live theatre with the musical comedy “Little Shop of Horrors” with book and lyrics by Howard Ashman and music by Alan Menken. The production opens on Thursday, May 15 at 8:00 PM with a benefit performance for the cast and crew.

The play follows the story of Seymour Krelborn, a down-and-out skid row floral assistant, who becomes an overnight sensation when he discovers an exotic plant with a mysterious craving for fresh blood. Soon “Audrey II” grows into an ill-tempered, foul-mouthed, R&B-singing carnivore that offers him fame and fortune in exchange for feeding its growing appetite, finally revealing itself to be an alien creature poised for global domination.

“Little Shop of Horrors” opens on Thursday, May 15 with an opening night gala that includes a champagne reception after the show. This performance will also serve as a benefit for the cast and crew. All seats for opening night are $15.00. The performance on Friday, May 16 will be a benefit for Youth Services Bureau; tickets are $15 and up. The performance on Saturday, May 17 will be a benefit for the Arcata Arts Institute; tickets are $20.00. After opening weekend, the run will continue Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays through June 14 with regular ticket price of $15.00 for all seats. All evening performances begin at 8:00 PM.
