Director/Choreographer/Costumer Brian Finnerty has assembled a cast of local favorites including Ariel Blue, Corey Woomert, Luke Manual McFatrich and a return to The Players stage for Casey Kelley playing Seymour. Unfortunately, due to Hurricane Ian, the run needed to be pushed back a week, now opening Oct. 12 and running through Oct. 16 at Studio 1130 in The Crossings at Siesta Key (3501 S. Tamiami Trail, Sarasota, FL 34239.)

Synopsis: The meek floral assistant Seymour Krelborn stumbles across a new breed of plant he names "Audrey II" - after his coworker crush. This foul-mouthed, R&B-singing carnivore promises unending fame and fortune to the down-and-out Krelborn as long as he keeps feeding it, BLOOD. Over time, though, Seymour discovers Audrey II's out-of-this-world origins and intent toward global domination!
