Little Shop of Horrors

Oct 18, 2026 - Nov 1, 2026

A little shop. A strange plant. A lot of trouble! Little Shop of Horrors is a delightfully dark musical comedy about a meek flower shop clerk, a mysterious man-eating plant, and the price of fame and fortune. With its 1960s rock ’n’ roll vibe, over-the-top humor, and toe-tapping songs like “Suddenly Seymour” and “Skid Row,” this cult classic is both wickedly funny and surprisingly sweet!

Puffs

Sep 19, 2026 - Sep 20, 2026

Ever wonder what it was like to be one of the other students at that famous school of witchcraft and wizardry? Puffs is the hilarious parody that flips the story you know on its head—told from the point of view of the loyal, awkward, and under appreciated house that never seems to win the glory. Follow seven years in the lives of the “Puffs,” a group of well-meaning misfits who just want to make it through magic school without getting caught in someone else’s epic adventure. Filled with laugh-out-loud humor, heart, and a few spells gone wrong, Puffs is a fast-paced comedy for anyone who’s ever felt like a side character—but still believes in friendship, bravery, and finding your place in the story.
