Loveland High School Production of LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS

LHS_Little Shop of HorrorsLoveland High School pays homage to the 60s and those crazy horror films with our production of  the Broadway classic, Little Shop of Horrors, set for April 20-23 at 7pm.

Meek, nerdy Seymour doesn’t realize he has bought a plant set out to take over the planet when he brings “Audrey II” home to Mushnik’s Florist on Skid Row.  But it sure gets him a lot of attention, especially from Audrey, the shop girl.  But Audrey II requires a special diet, and that’s where it gets a bit scary!

Since COVID shut down our production 2 years ago, Audrey II has gotten very hungry!  She would love to see a big crowd in the audience!

Tickets are $12 for adults, $10 for students and senior citizens. Available on the LHs Drama website: https://lovelandhstheater.wixsite.com/lhsdrama/box-office

Please familiarize yourself with the audition dance using the following link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CEPfXEzRQks

In order to participate in an Encore show, an $85 participation fee is required, along with 10 sold tickets. This fee covers one meal on “Tech Sunday”, as well as our final summer sendoff celebration!

Over the course of rehearsals, you may be required to supply your own general costume pieces (shoes, socks, t-shirts) etc. Other than that, you’ll have access to our costume wardrobe with over 25 years worth of shows!

Rehearsals will start May 23rd with a week of light rehearsal where not everyone may be called (we know you have exams to study for!) Starting the week of May 30th, Encore will rehearse 6:30 – 10:00, Mondays-Thursdays. MOST rehearsals require the entirety of the cast to come to every rehearsal. A schedule will be passed out at the first rehearsal.

Rehearsals will begin at The Presbyterian Church of Hamilton (23 S Front St, Hamilton, OH 45011).

Beginning June 6th, we will rehearse in our performance space, Parrish Auditorium (1601 University Blvd, Hamilton, OH 45011), on Miami University Hamilton’s campus.

A mandatory “Tech Week” is required by all performers during the week, starting with our “Tech Sunday” on July 18th culminating with our performances July 21st-23rd. We will do our best to release the performers at a decent time, but as tech weeks go, long hours may be required.

Performances begin at 7:30 each night with a 2:00 matinee on July 23rd.
