Sunday, March 10, 17 at 3 pm LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS The Uproarious Musical Spoof Lyrics & Book by Howard Ashman Music by Alan Menken Directed by Ron Scarlata, Choreography by Dorothy LaSpina A meek florist working at a run-down flower shop on skid row (who silently pines for his beautiful blond co-worker) becomes an overnight sensation when he discovers an exotic plant with a mysterious caving for blood. "Audrey II", the plant, grows into an ill-tempered R&B singing carnivore poised to take over the world! You'll see this unearthly house plant grow before your eyes as it sings and dances into your hearts. Literally! This affectionate spoof of the 1950's sci-fi movies is written by the dynamic song-writing team of The Little Mermaid and Beauty and the Beast and was one of the longest-running Off-Broadway shows of all time. Fun for the whole family—complete with live band! Campus Theatre Evenings: $15 / Matinee: $12

Sunday, May 12 at 3 pm THE SEA GULL by Anton Chekhov directed by David Catanzarite Frank Drwyer's translation adapted by David Catanzarite Inspired by a real-life incident of the death of a seagull, this is hailed as the best written play by Chekhov, The Sea Gull tells a poignant love story centered on literary nonentity Konstantin's tragic quest for a burgeoning actress Nina Swirling around the country estate are characters who reflect Konstantin's pain and suffering in their own harshly realistic ways. In this famed play, Chekhov introduces a brand new form of literature as to emphasize characters other than plot. Instead of placing characters beneath a steady frame, Chekhov lets his characters guide the subtle movement of the sad tale of devastating dreams and hopes. The dying seagull symbolizes the emptiness of defeat and further stressing the beauty of life. The fullness of being simply alive comes beaming with power and touches of life.
