Howard Ashman’s cult classic Little Shop of Horrors creeps with terrifying new life onto the AACC stage.

With the solar eclipse having just passed us by, here’s hoping everybody counted their plants both before and after! And that nobody ended up with any extra!! And if you did end up with an extra plant…perhaps one that has teeth and looks sort of odd…well you can bring it with you to see Little Shop of Horrors at Anne Arundel Community College Theatre opening this weekend and playing through April 21st 2024.

Reviews March 21, 2024 Steven Kirkpatrick & Charles Boyington Steven Kirkpatrick & Charles Boyington

Little Shop of Horrors returns to Ford’s Theatre from March 15 through May 18 after a previous mounting in 2010. From its origin as a low budget 1960 sci-fi dark comedy by Roger Corman, to its initial adaptation as an off-Broadway musical in 1982, to subsequent high-budget film versions and worldwide stage success, Little Shop of Horrors has become one of the most treasured pieces of American musical theatre.

If you have never seen this American staple of musical theatre then you should run and see this production.

Of the month of August

In an early year of a decade

Not too long before our own
