Little Shop of Horrors

Sat, Oct 24 2 pm – 4:30 pm

Little Shop of Horrors

Sid Williams Theatre

A cult-favorite musical full of big laughs, memorable songs, and a monstrous plant that turns an ordinary flower shop into a wild ride of love, greed, and disaster. Little Shop of Horrors is a deliciously dark, wildly funny musical about a shy florist shop worker, a hopeless crush, and a mysterious plant with a very big appetite. Packed with catchy songs, outrageous characters, and just the right amount of campy chaos, it’s a show that’s equal parts heart, horror, and hilarity. LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS Book and Lyrics by Howard Ashman Music by Alan Menken Based on the film by Roger Corman, Screenplay by Charles Griffith. Originally produced by the WPA Theatre (Kyle Renick, Producing Director) Originally produced at the Orpheum Theatre, New York City by the WPA Theatre, David Geffen, Cameron Mackintosh and the Shubert Organization. LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS was originally Directed by Howard Ashman with Musical Staging by Edie Cowan. Little Shop of Horrors is presented through special arrangement with Music Theatre International (MTI). www.mtishows.com

Unglued – Collage Workshop

Artful the Gallery

Exploring with collage connects you with your creativity, and can help sidestep those pesky harsh self-judgments about your artistic abilities. Using collage, we will cultivate a sense of possibility, adventure and imagination. Using existing images in unpredictable compositions and with collaboration can lower our inhibitions (which is great for those who want to be creative but don’t consider themselves artists) providing a playful experience with curiousity and openness to the unexpected … just for fun! All levels welcome and all materials supplied.

Lecture: North Island Heritage Sites

Tue, Nov 3 7 pm – 8 pm

Lecture: North Island Heritage Sites

the Courtenay and District Museum

Plan your next “staycation” with historian Jeanette Taylor, who will give an illustrated talk about north Vancouver Island’s heritage sites, Tuesday, November 3 at 7pm at the Courtenay Museum. Taylor brings a wealth of experience to her subject, from writing local history to guided boat tours and her former role as a curator with the Museum at Campbell River. She’ll highlight accessible gems and provide a downloadable site list. Many can be reached by car and trail, while others, like Mitlenatch Island or Nootka Sound, require boat tours. Taylor likes to bring these areas to life with stories of remarkable individuals. One such person is August Schnarr, who raised three girls on his own in the isolated mountain vastness of Bute Inlet. The girls became famous for raising cougars as pets. “The north island is not an easy place to live,” says Taylor, “between the mountains, wind, extreme tides and weather. Settlers who wanted to farm chose the Comox Valley or points south. The north demanded adventurers, prepared to face extremes.” Admission to the evening is $5 per Historical Society member; $6 non-members (plus GST). Advance tickets are strongly recommended as the museum lecture series frequently sells out. FMI: 250-334-0686 ext. 2.
