The School of Fine Art and Music and the School of Theatre, English, and Creative Writing present Little Shop of Horrors! A meek flower shop assistant (Seymour) and his co-worker (Audrey) long for a better life. During a total eclipse of the sun, Seymour encounters an unusual plant that he names Audrey II. He soon learns that the plant will only eat human blood. Feeding the plant brings Seymour everything he ever wanted, including the love of Audrey, but how far will he go to keep the plant—and his dreams—alive?
