EMPORIA — Two area students will have roles in Emporia State University Theatre’s presentation of “Little Shop of Horrors” by Howard Ashman and Alan Menken.
Rachel Shaffer of Iola, performs Voice of Audrey II.
Lexie Vega of Iola plays Crystal.
Performances are scheduled for Oct. 26-28 at 7:30 p.m. and Nov. 2 at 2 p.m. in the Karl C. Bruder in King Hall on the ESU campus.
The story follows Seymour, a down-and-out floral assistant who discovers a peculiar plant with a craving for human flesh. As the plant, Audrey II, grows increasingly demanding and dangerous, Seymour must navigate a web of moral dilemmas, all while trying to win the heart of his co-worker and love interest, Audrey. “Little Shop of Horrors” is a unique blend of comedy and horror with dark humor, outrageous characters and an electrifying 1960s pop/rock score.
