This cult-classic favorite, follows the story of Seymour Krelborn, a meek florist on Skid Row, who has the unfortunate task of raising and providing for his strange and unusual plant. Murder, love, fortune, and fame quickly consume and confuse the young botanical genius as he raises his man-eating plant from outer-space.

Set in a small black box theatre, one of the key goals of this design was to utilize as many entrance as possible to get both the cast on and off stage quickly, but also being able to mask off the shop to mask the crew and the transformation of teh Audrey II puppet. Inspiration was drawn from New York City storefront and "The Picture of Dorian Gray," a painting by Ivan Albright that tells a similiar story to that of Seymour.
