SYNOPSIS: Seymour is a hapless floral shop clerk who raises a strange and exotic plant with an insatiable appetite for human blood. This plant may just be his ticket out of "Skid-Row" and to win the girl of his dreams...but can they escape the plant's scheme for world domination? Mixing Motown, B-movies, and the American Dream, LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS is a screamingly funny, gleefully twisted, out-of-this-world hit musical.

Final Weekend for KING RICHARD II, plus OPEN MIC SHAKESPEARE - Cymbeline!
by Cleveland Shakespeare Festival via NEohioPAL 30 Jun '16

30 Jun '16

Final weekend for KING RICHARD II The first leg of our summer tour reaches its end this weekend with these stops: - Friday: Notre Dame College in South Euclid - Saturday: James A. Garfield National Historic Site in Mentor - Sunday: Lincoln Park in Tremont All performances begin at 7pm and are presented FREE OF CHARGE Bring a blanket or low-slung chair Believing himself anointed by God and infallible, the narcissistic King Richard over-taxes the populace and issues decrees by caprice. Richard exiles Henry Bolingbroke to settle a dispute, then seizes his father’s estate to fund a foreign war. While Richard’s army fights in Ireland, Bolingbroke mounts a populist rebellion at home to regain what’s rightfully his, planting the seeds for the War of the Roses that would erupt decades later. Classified as a history, but with the soaring poetry and humanizing fall associated with tragedy, King Richard II is an under-appreciated gem in the Bard’s canon. Perfect for this election season, it examines the nature of leadership, power and identity. Who is Richard when he is no longer King? *THE TEMPEST runs July 22 - Aug 7* See the full tour schedule on our website: www.cleveshakes.org *VOLUNTEERS NEEDED!* Help us out by distributing programs pre-show, working our merchandise table! Sign up here: https://www.volunteerspot.com/login/entry/104709603409 *OPEN MIC SHAKESPEARE* *CYMBELINE* *Saturday, July 2* *Saturday, July 30* *2-4:30pm* *Cleveland Hts Main Librar*y Last month, we followed the Bard to a mysterious island in the Mediterranean! This month, we land in the United Kingdom---BEFORE it was united. In "Cymbeline", Shakespeare weaves a tale of two lands, Rome and Britain, who's respective people are questioning the relative meaning of "love and honor". Due to the play's length, we'll be reading the first half of it this month and the second half of it next month. Open Mic Shakespeare is our monthly play-reading series. One day each month, we invite anyone and everyone to stop in and read a Shakespeare play with us, at a cool spot in the Greater Cleveland area. This month, we'll be meeting twice, Saturday July 2nd and Saturday July 30th, 2-4:30pm, at the Cleveland Heights-University Heights Lee Rd. Public Library, Meeting Room B. Like our classic summer performance season, entry to Open Mic Shakespeare is absolutely free, now and forever.
