Little Shop of Horrors features a floral shop on Skid Row that is about to close down for good. However, a mysterious plant, which shop worker Seymour names Audrey II after his crush and fellow shop worker Audrey, is brought into the shop and becomes an instant sensation. The store is back from the ruins and doing incredibly well. Seymour and Audrey are getting closer together. Yet, that plant...what an appetite...

Lee Buckholz directed Little Shop of Horrors, which features the cast of Ricky Cona, Jillian Prefach, Kevin Crain, Matthew Bryan Feld, Tymika Prince, Illy Kirven, Tamika Skaggs, Rendell Debose, Lem Jackson, Matthew Brennan, Megan Bliss, and Kyle Braun.

During Little Shop's run, Derby Dinner will also present the children's show A Year With Frog and Toad. That show opens on Saturday.
