KNOX, Pa. — The cast, crew, and production staff at Keystone High School will be presenting “Little Shop of Horrors” from March 15 to March 17.
(Pictured above: Front Row — Sal Amato as the Voice of the Plant and Ethan Heeter as Mr. Mushnik. Back Row — Mason Burns as Orin the Dentist, Makenzie Byerley as Audrey, and Isaac Rivers as Seymour.)
Little Shop of Horrors is a delectable sci-fi horror comedy musical with an electrifying 1950’s pop/rock score by Alan Menken and Howard Ashman.
Seymour, played by junior Isaac Rivers, is a cowardly, naive and put-on clerk at Mushnik’s Flower Shop. Mushnik is played by sophomore Ethan Heeter. Mushnik is an immigrant from Eastern Europe and a failure as an East Side (Skid Row) florist.
Seymour has a crush on Audrey, played by senior Makenzie Byerley, a sweet but self-deprecating girl with a troubled past, who also works at Mushnik’s. She dates Orin Scrivello, DDS, played by senior Mason Burns. Orin is a tall, dark, and handsome dentist, an egotistical pretty-boy with abusive tendencies.
Seymour buys a strange and interesting plant, which he affectionately names Audrey Two, portrayed by junior Sal Amato, who develops a soulful R & B voice and an unquenchable thirst for human blood.
The show is supported by the Nonet, a group of teenage dropouts who sing Doo-wop style back up throughout.
As Audrey II grows bigger and meaner, the carnivorous plant promises limitless fame and fortune to Seymour, as long as he continues providing a fresh supply of blood.
Doors open at 6:30 p.m. Tickets are $5.00 each, and will also be sold at the door.
