| Week of Sunday 9/5 The SEED School of Washington DC presents Little Shop of Horrors September 10 and 11, 7:30PM September 11, 2:00PM Ticket Hotline: 202-248-3040 $10 general admission (adults, ppl over 18) $7 general admission (students/children 5-17) Under age 5 free. The SEED School of Washington DC presents their annual play, "Little Shop of Horrors." A down-and-out skid row floral assistant 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 who offers him fame and fortune in exchange for feeding its growing appetite, finally revealing itself to be an alien creature poised for global domination! The SEED School presentation is cartoonish in style allowing the audience to see that the world is very fake, but the people that live on Skid Row are very real. The characters presented in Little Shop of Horrors are all people that we know in the real world. The cartoonish presentation and set design, juxtaposed against serious, real actors forces the audience to listen to the words of the show - allowing the audience to believe the show is truly an extension of reality. |
