Little Shop of Horrors to munch on CSC By Teddy Parham Jr. Reporter
FEED ME SEYMOUR! You better watch out. The famous man-eating plant is hungry to feed on college students. Coming in October, CSC’s theatre department will present “Little Shop of Horrors,” the musical. This 80s classic horror musical tells the story of a meek flower shop assistant named Seymour who is hopelessly in love with his co-worker, Audrey. As the two work together in the struggling flower shop, Seymour stumbles upon an unusual plant and names it Audrey II, out of lovelorn feeling for his co-worker. But it just so happens that this plant has a hunger for human flesh and blood. Even though Audrey II brings in new customers, its hunger cannot be contained. What happens next is something you’ll have to find out for yourself.

Along with the upcoming play, CSC welcomed a new director this year. Michael Susko from New York, who will be directing two shows this semester, Little Shop of Horrors musical and a play called The Whale. Susko has a well-rounded background when it comes to directing, especially in musicals. He has worked on Broadway shows. “Even if they haven’t seen the show, they will like this,” Susko said. “We are doing Little Shop but doing it our way and we’re going to blow the roof off this joint.” His high hopes for what’s to come is contagious and he believes “the audience will be surprised and excited.” The musical is just getting started. Last week, auditions were held to see which CSC students would be playing these beloved characters. Levi O’Dell, junior, was cast in the role of Seymore. This is O’Dell’s third CSC musical. Previously, he has been in “Evil Dead” and “I Love You, You’re Perfect.” This is Aubrey Garrett’s, sophomore of Alliance, first musical at CSC. She is playing Audrey. “There was 13 girls that had the call back for the music

parts and then 3 that had specific Audrey call backs,” Garrett said. “I feel like I prepared really, really well for it. I felt really confident. I don’t know what it was but during call backs it just felt really good.” Last year, COVID-19 made performing in front of a live audience hard. Audience attendance was limited, with most of the shows being livestreamed, and masks were mandated. This year it is still a concern of people, especially those who are unvaccinated. But, according to Susko, the theatre department is back to normal. There will be no masks mandate amongst the cast members nor the audience. Your face is really important,” Garrett said. “Masks made it hard to show your passion.” Tickets for this classical musical, which will be performed Oct. 7-12, will be free and available online at csc. edu/theater until seats fill up. It is suggested to reserve tickets ahead of time, but they will be given out the day of the show as well. So, get your tickets soon and experience these young actors and actresses as they impress us with an amazing musical.
