NEW THIS YEAR: IN PERSON INTERVIEWS & CALLBACKS SATURDAY, MARCH 15TH

We are excited to announce our Youth Ensemble high school programming: Shakespeare's Romeo & Juliet and the Broadway cult-classic musical Little Shop of Horrors.

Two star-crossed lovers are bound by passion and torn apart by fate. As their families’ feud spirals out of control, they defy the world around them, only to discover that the universe has its own plans. Arguably Shakespeare's best-known tragedy explores infatuation, loyalty, and the inevitable pull of destiny.

When nerdy florist Seymour discovers an unearthly, singing plant with a lust for human blood, Skid Row gains an unexpected hero. As Seymour tries to win the heart of troubled but sweet Audrey—while dodging her maniacal, dentist boyfriend—the plant grows bigger, bolder, and hungrier. With outrageous characters and literally killer tunes, this cult-classic proves that sometimes love really does bite!
