D I R E C TO R ’ S N O T E S
Welcome to LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS, the opening production in the 2014-2015
Shorewood High School Drama Season! After opening with tonight’s delicious dark
comedy, the winter will bring us the hilarious Neil Simon comedy RUMORS. Our high
school season will end with the classic musical CABARET. Also, don’t forget our amazing
variety show, Showcase next month. SIS drama will feature its own variety show, Show
Circle and the 1980’s classic musical, FAME!
We are very lucky to welcome two new excellent staff members to Shorewood Drama.
Mr. Maylan Thomas joins us as our new Technical Director/Auditorium Manager. Ms. Sara
Van Loon joins us as the new Costume Designer, while continuing as the director of the
Shorewood Drama Junior program. Please extend a warm welcome to these talented
artists.
We were originally going to produce the musical AMERICAN IDIOT in this time slot, but
when the rights did not come available for that show, we sought a similar rock musical
with a fun, edgy style that would excite the students. Having directed LITTLE SHOP at my
last school in Indiana, I knew that our actors would enjoy it. It has delightful characters,
wonderful musical and lyrics by Howard Ashman and Alan Menken, and an exciting
opportunity to work with puppets!
LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS is based on the 1960’s “B” movie of the same name. In 1982,
the musical premiered Off-off Broadway and was a huge success. It has since had a
Broadway run and in 1986, it was turned into a campy movie, starring Ellen Greene, Rick
Moranis, John Candy, Jim Belushi, Steve Martin, Tisha Campbell, and Tichina Arnold.
Our goal is to have the audience leave the show saying, “I can’t believe that was high
school theatre!” We hope we have achieved that goal tonight! LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS
has been a blast to produce and we are certain you will love this fun, little musical.
I would like to acknowledge the support of Grande Flower Shop (Wendy Golden) for her
willingness to open her basement to us. Many of the set dressings are from her shop.
Please support her store (at the corner of Morris and Capitol) with your patronage. Also,
the Shorewood Historical Society loaned us the (very heavy) Dentist Chair that you will
see in tonight’s production. Thank you! Shows like this cost a lot of money…if you’d like
to become a financial supporter of Shorewood Drama or a season ticket holder/patron,
please contact Mr. King at [email protected].
Finally, thank you for your support. The arts are alive and well in Shorewood. Thank you
for being an ambassador for arts education in our public schools! Enjoy LITTLE SHOP OF
HORRORS!
