WASHINGTON —
Veale Creek Theatre will be bringing “Little Shop of Horrors” to the stage next week for its first musical of the season.
The performances will be on Wednesday through next Sunday. The show will start at 7:30 p.m. Wednesday through Saturday, and the Sunday performance will begin at 2 p.m. Run time is less than an hour and a half.
Tickets are $10 and are on sale now at Hibbett Sports.
“Little Shop of Horrors” is a musical that tells the story of a man-eating plant that comes into the hands of one of the florists in a failing flower shop. The plant brings him success, but with bloodthirsty intentions.
“My favorite part is the song ‘Downtown/Skid Row’ in the beginning,” said cast member Mary Grant. “It’s dramatic and sets up the show really well.”
The cast consists of 17 people of various ages from Washington, Petersburg and Evansville, who started rehearsal last month after auditioning for their roles. Under the direction of Tyler Simpson, the talented group assumes the diverse roles of florists, hobos, a sadistic dentist and other inhabitants of Skid Row.
The plant is operated using puppetry. Piano and drums accompany the cast during musical numbers.
“It’s going to be a very good show. Everyone is doing an excellent job,” said Elke Guratzsch, president of Veale Creek Players, Inc.
Veale Creek Theatre is located on the east side of SR 57S, just past CR 450S. Call (812) 254-0892 or go to Hibbett Sports to purchase tickets. They can also be bought at the door, but reservations are preferred.

IU still working towards sixth banner
Monday night in Atlanta, Louisville won the school’s first National Championship since the year I was born - 1986. This accomplishment is significant to Indiana basketball fans, because the last two times the Cardinals cut down the nets (1980, 1986), the Hoosiers did it the following year. The stat, of course means nothing, other than both schools had strong programs in the 1980s.
