LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS Returns To Mac-Haydn

The Mac-Haydn Theatre presents Howard Ashman and Alan Menken's sci-fi hit Little Shop of Horrors, running August 8 through 18.

Get ready for this beloved and out-of-this-world comedy. Down on Skid Row we meet the meek and loveable Seymour Krelborn, where he discovers a carnivorous plant that needs more than just plant food to grow; it needs blood and has plans for total world domination! This smash hit sci-fi musical will crash like a meteorite onto the stage and satisfy every appetite!
