Tommy Brent saved the theater from demolition in 1967 and ran it successfully until FourQuest Entertainment took over the lease in 1988. Following extensive renovations that fall and winter, FourQuest reopened the theater in the spring of 1989 and continued producing Summer Theater at the seaside playhouse until the fall of 2003. Bill Hanney purchased the property in 2007 and, with producing partn

ers, successfully mounted a production of 'A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum,' just six weeks later, reopening the historic theatre on August 8, 2007. Theatre By The Sea continues to annually produce a successful four-musical subscription season, a summer Friday morning children's' festival and a Monday evening concert series.

“Anna Telfer steals the show as the vulnerable, sweet Audrey. She has the look, the acting skills, and enough voice for 10 Audreys. Audrey’s character is over the top, and Telfer clearly knows how to play her lines for a laugh, but she adds plenty of subtlety and nuance to her musical numbers, instead of simply belting her way through them!”

With toe-tapping hits, quirky romance, and deliciously over-the-top thrills, LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS serves up a monstrous good time.

“Director Bob Richard deserves a round of applause for the production, as do his wife, choreographer Diane Laurenson, and, delivering yet again on a wonderful evening of music, is long-time Music Director Milton Granger. He’s versatile, smooth with the tunes no matter the show, and a dynamo on the keyboard behind the scenes.”
