Little Shop of Horrors was first presented by the Central Catholic Theatre Guild in the Allan B. Rogers Memorial Theater on April 7-9, 1994. That show was directed by Mr. Christopher Merrill '89 and featured students from Central Catholic, Saint Mary High School, and Presentation of Mary Academy.

Now, just a few days shy of thirty years later, the Central Catholic community again gets to experience the story of a meek florist named Seymour Krelborn and his bloodthirsty plant, the Audrey II! We would especially like to welcome back members of the 1994 cast and crew to this special anniversary performance!
