Herald Reports - Sep 9, 2024
Studio Tenn kicks off its 2024-25 season — the theater company’s 15th anniversary season — with the deviously delicious sci-fi musical comedy, “Little Shop of Horrors.” Opening on the Turner Theater stage at the Factory at Franklin on Oct. 10, the production runs through Oct. 27.
According to a press release, Studio Tenn’s production takes on this affectionate spoof on 1960’s sci-fi movies about a twisted tale of botanical bloodlust. On the dangerous and downtrodden streets of Skid Row, Seymour, a struggling floral assistant, becomes an overnight sensation when he discovers an exotic plant with a mysterious craving for fresh blood. Soon “Audrey II” — named after his coworker crush — grows into an ill-tempered, foul-mouthed, R&B-singing carnivore. As Audrey II's insatiable hunger grows, Seymour's world crumbles under the weight of the plant's sinister plan for global domination.
