LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS A musical comedy by Howard Ashman, music by Alen Menken

Apri/10-27 It's a funny thing about Mushnik's F lower Shop. The place nearly went under; then Seymour Krelbourn, the nebbish assistant, found that weird-looking plant which he

named after Audrey, the blonde he works with. Now he and Audrey are an item, business is booming, and the plant's going to be on the cover of Life magazine!

But it's all a bit creepy; people keep disappearing, and there's something unnatural about the way that plant keeps getting SO BIG!

What exactly has Seymour been feeding it, anyway?

Gobble up the laughs as we close our Main Stage season with this wacky musical tribute to the Grade B horror films of recent memory.

Show time is 8 p.m. Tickets S 11 - S 17 . . . . . . . . . � . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Studio Theatre -April NOT WANTED ON THE VOYAGE

A provocative drama by Timothy Findley

April 24 - May 4 The story of Noah's Ark is familiar to us all. This intense and imaginative play

combines fantasy, history, and myth to weave together a magical journey that shows us the truth about the real heroes (and villains) of the story. As usual, the men running the show get all the glory while the painful decisions, and the dirty work, are left to

the women and those men who can't, or won't, play by the rules.

Based on the best-selling novel by Canadian author and playwright Timothy Findley, Not Wanted on the Voyage was recently produced by the Necessary Angel and The

Canadian Stage Company, in conjunction with the Manitoba Theatre Centre.

We are privileged to be presenting it in a new production to close our Studio season.

Show time is 7:30 p.m. Tickets $11 - $13

Director's Notes

"The more things change, the more they remain the same/"

The joust between Man and Woman management occurs because of rising cost and decreasing profits. Sound like the '90s? -- No!

It's 1954!

It's Cedar Rapids, Iowa!

It's The Pajama Game!

The Pajama Game opened at the St.James Theatre in New York, May 13, 1954 starring Janis Paige (Babe), John. Raitt (Sid), Eddie Foy, Jr. (Hines), and Carol Haney (Gladys). In the chorus, there was a young dancer called Shirley Maclaine who was noticed when she substituted the role of Gladys for a few performances. In 1957 Warner Bros., produced the film version starring Doris Day and John Raitt, then in 1973 a revival was produced at the Lunt-Fontanne Theatre. This production contained an interracial romance with Barbara McNair and Hal Linden. It did not work! The original is still a favorite of all who see it.

Theatre Sheridan has had a lot of fun putting this wonderful musical on the boards. Now it is time for you to join in the Fun!

So, lets suspend reality a little, sip your drink, and sing along with one of Broadway's Best Musical Shows ...
