Little Shop of Horrors at Southern Indiana Elements of Art LLC

It's 1950's America. Seymour, a naive orphan, was taken in and given a job by Mr. Mushnik, the Jewish owner of a run-down florist's in the seedy part of town in Skid Row. Seymour spends his time doing menial tasks, being berated by Mr. Mushnik and crushing on the shop assistant, Audrey. One day, just after an eclipse of the sun, Seymour discovers a strange plant. He buys it, names it Audrey II and by displaying it in the shop suddenly attracts the customers the shop has been missing. While caring for Audrey II, Seymour discovers the plant's rather unique appetite for blood! Audrey is frequently beaten up by her sadistic dentist boyfriend and in response to the plant’s ever-demanding threats, Seymour kills the dentist and feeds him to the plant! Mushnik pieces together clues about the strange goings on and the plot thickens. Will Audrey II take over the world.... or will Seymour and Audrey defeat it?!?
