There's something BIG coming to Gallery Theater. So big that it requires a U-Haul to transport it! Gallery Theater is delighted to be using the same professional puppets that were used in the Broadway Rose Theater's production last September. Little Shop of Horrors opens on the Gallery main stage September 13 through October 5. You won't want to miss it.

A down-and out skid row floral assistant becomes an overnight sensation when he discovers an exotic plant with a mysterious craving for fresh blood. Soon "Audrey II" grows into an ill-tempered, foul-mouthed, R&B-singing carnivore who offers him fame and fortune in exchange for feeding its growing appetite, finally revealing itself to be an alien creature poised for global domination! Parental discretion is advised for young children.
