‘Little Shop of Horrors’ to make North Valley debut
by Jim Crawford

ANTHEM – The Boulder Creek Mainstage Players will debut “Little Shop of Horrors” March 1‑4 at the Boulder Creek High School Performing Arts Building in Anthem.

Adapted from the 1960s film, “Little Shop of Horrors” is the story of timid Seymour Krelbourn, a flower shop employee in Skid Row. His dreary life is soon transformed with the arrival of a curious plant that feeds on human blood. Naming it Audrey II after his love interest, Seymour soon finds the plant has a voracious appetite for human blood.

Seymour makes a deal with Audrey II: to feed the carnivorous plant in exchange for wealth and fame. The ensuing events create a darkly funny and captivating story as Seymour is drawn into a world of deception and greed.

Brandy Miller, who is directing the cast of “Little Shop,” has high praise for her charges.

“The cast are students from the area schools who auditioned for the play,” she says. “I just have an outstanding group of ladies who I knew would do a terrific job for the play’s three narrators. I chose the show with the seniors in mind. There are two in the cast that will knock your socks off.”

Several of the cast members are involved with community theater.

“It’s been a lot of fun watching them put it all together,” she says. “It’s hectic, but it always seems to come together.”

The production will be at 7 p.m. March 1‑2 ; 2 and 7 p.m. March 3 and 3:30 p.m. March 4.

For ticket information call (623) 297‑1372.

Boulder Creek High School is located at 40404 N. Gavilan Peak Pkwy. in Anthem.
