🌱 OUR FIRST PREVIEWS WERE PHENOMENAL… AND TOMORROW, WE OPEN!

What an incredible start to Little Shop of Horrors! Our first preview audiences brought so much energy into the Max Bell Theatre, and we couldn’t have asked for a better way to kick off this run.

After weeks of rehearsals, music, puppets, and one increasingly hungry plant… Opening Night is TOMORROW! 👀🌱

We can’t wait to officially open the doors to Skid Row and share this wildly fun, weird, and wonderful show with you.

Who’s coming to see us?!

🌱 Ever wondered what it takes to bring Audrey II to life?

Join us for Theatre Talk Thursday before Little Shop of Horrors and get an insider’s look at the process behind building the puppets you’ll see on stage.

Our guest speaker is Dean Bareham, founder of Green Fools Theatre, whose team built the puppets for the production. Dean will take us behind the scenes to talk about the process, creativity, and craftsmanship that goes into creating a plant unlike any other.

🎭 Theatre Talk Thursday
Thursday, October 1 | 6:45–7:15 PM
📍 Max Bell Theatre Upper Lobby

Theatre Talk Thursdays are open to all ticket holders attending that evening’s performance.

Come early, meet one of the artists behind the show, and learn a little more about Audrey II before you meet her on stage.

🌱 Come behind the scenes of Little Shop of Horrors with us!
What you see on stage is only the final piece of a much bigger process.

From rehearsals and music to costumes, lighting, sets, props, puppets, and all the little moments in between, Little Shop of Horrors has brought together a huge team of artists, technicians, musicians, crew members, and creatives.

So today, we’re inviting you into the process with us and sharing a few of our favourite behind-the-scenes moments from bringing Skid Row (and one very hungry plant) to life.
It really does take a village… especially when that village has to build Audrey II. 🌱

Building relationships is hard. We get it.

But that doesn’t necessarily mean you should start talking to your plants about your problems… Seymour might disagree.
Come see Little Shop of Horrors and find out what happens when you let a plant get just a little too deep into your life… and your soul👀

Just remember: if it starts talking back, you may already be in trouble.
