Staff report

     The Monticello High School Theatre Department will present the musical “Little Shop of Horrors” Thursday through Saturday, Nov. 2-4 in the MHS Auditorium.

     Times are 7 p.m. for the Thursday and Friday performances, and 2 p.m. for Saturday.

     The meek floral assistant Seymour Krelborn stumbles across a new breed of plant he names “Audrey II,” after his coworker crush. This foul-mouthed, R&B-singing carnivore promises unending fame and fortune to the down-and-out Krelborn as long as he keeps feeding it ­– blood.

     Over time, though, Audrey II grows to astounding proportions (its final size is one of the musical’s highlights), and Seymour discovers the plant’s out-of-this-world origins and intent toward global domination.

     Admission is $5 for adults, $4 for students and senior citizens.
