30 Years of Little Shop: A Cast & Crew Reunion

Little Shop of Horrors was first presented by the Central Catholic Theatre Guild in the Allan B. Rogers Memorial Theater on April 7-9, 1994. That show was directed by Mr. Christopher Merrill '89 and featured students from Central Catholic, Saint Mary High School, and Presentation of Mary Academy.

They were invited back, just a few days shy of thirty years later, to re-experience the story of a meek florist named Seymour Krelborn and his bloodthirsty plant, the Audrey II. We would especially like to welcome back members of the 1994 cast and crew to this special anniversary performance and for a special reception!

Twenty-seven alumni from the cast and crew of the 1994 performance attended the show and a reception. Some of them brought their families for a total of more than 60 guests in attendance. People came from as far as Texas, North Carolina, Michigan, Illinois, New Jersey, and Vermont!
