Students have a musical they can look forward to this fall complete with secret love, doo-wop and . . . singing plants?<\/p>\n
The theatre department is presenting the musical \u201cLittle Shop of Horrors\u201d this fall. <\/span>Production Specialist Dan Libecap said the plants make the production unique because \u201cthe plants grow throughout the play.\u201d<\/p>\n The star plant, Audrey II, is actually a large puppet rented from Wright State University, according to Libecap. <\/span><\/p>\n \u201cA lot of puppetry is very similar to (the 1986 movie),\u201d Libecap said.<\/p>\n Libecap is hoping to premiere a special effect that he believes has never been done before. <\/span><\/p>\n \u201cWe\u2019re just trying to make it bigger and better,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n Libecap has researched the effect, and he believes that it can work. <\/span>However, more building and testing is required before it can be presented to the public.<\/p>\n \u201cExpect anything from all sides, and that\u2019s all I can say,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n The play is a great mix of horror, comedy and musical, according to Libecap. <\/span>He believes the play is a lot of fun, especially around Halloween. <\/span>People who have never seen the show will often claim it as one of their favorites after they\u2019ve seen it, he said.<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s just such an odd and fun show,\u201d Libecap said.<\/p>\n The musical is one of three plays scheduled for this year\u2019s theatrical season. <\/span>One classical piece, \u201cAntigone,\u201d and one contemporary piece, \u201cDog Sees God: Confessions of a Teenage Blockhead,\u201d fill the remaining roster, according to Marketing Manager Patti Celek.<\/p>\n \u201cLittle Shop of Horrors\u201d stars James Roselli and Tracie Puckett as Seymour and Audrey, co-workers at a skid-row florist shop. <\/span>Joshua Scales will voice the star plant, Audrey II. <\/span>Puppeteers have not yet been announced.<\/p>\n
