The Chief Sealth Drama Company will present its spring musical “Little Shop of Horrors” May 1 through May 3 at Chief Sealth International High School, according to the school’s drama department.

Public performances are scheduled for 7 p.m. on Friday, May 1; 2 p.m. and 7 p.m. on Saturday, May 2; and 2 p.m. on Sunday, May 3. A “pay-what-you can” matinee will be offered at 2 p.m. on Saturday.

The musical by Howard Ashman follows Seymour Krelborn, a florist who discovers a mysterious plant named Audrey 2 that feeds on blood. The production blends humor, romance and horror and is based on a story that later became a widely recognized 1986 film.

“As a new director, it has been such a fun and encouraging learning experience to see so many students and staff come together for the creative process of this show,” director Shanti Rose Birch said. “With each rehearsal and set day, you can see how every student grows and brings the scene to life, through singing, dancing, and artistic expression.”

Rose Birch added that she is “ecstatic to present this show to the community” and said the work of students and staff will result in “an excellent showing of this gruesome, comedic, musical.”

The production includes 17 cast members and more than 25 students working behind the scenes as costume designers, set and prop builders, technicians, puppeteers and crew. Students have been preparing for the show since January, according to the drama department.

The show is recommended for audiences ages 11 and older.

Tickets are $7 for students and seniors and $10 for adults.
