Little Shop of Horrors

at The Bailey Theatre in Trail. BC

A deviously delicious Broadway and Hollywood sci-fi smash musical, “Little Shop Of Horrors” has devoured the hearts of theatre goers for over 30 years. Howard Ashman and Alan Menken (Disney’s The Little Mermaid, Beauty And The Beast, and Aladdin) are the creative geniuses behind what has become one of the most popular shows in the world.
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, Seymour discovers Audrey II’s out of this world origins and intent towards global domination!
Based on the 1960 film by Roger Corman, this charmingly tongue-in-cheek comedy is one of the longest-running Off-Broadway shows.
The Rossland Light Opera Players is believed to be the oldest amateur musical theatre group in the Kootenays, presenting a major musical annually. Still going strong after 60+ years!

Artist Talk with Naomi Bourque
2024-02-23 19:00 - 21:00 | Nelson Museum, Archives & Gallery, 502 Vernon Street, Nelson, V1L 4E7, Canada
Using traditional techniques for gathering, tanning, embroidering, and embellishment, Nelson-based textile artist Naomi Bourque has reimagined the intersection of function and beauty in her latest project, ‘Medicine Harvest’ – a series of ten ponchos constructed with natural materials, including deer hide, antler, birch bark, and plant dyes.

Three of the ponchos in the series will be on display during an artist talk at the Nelson Museum, Archives & Gallery on Friday, February 23 at 7pm. Naomi will discuss her approach to her practice, ‘Medicine Harvest’, and the Indigenous Fashion Arts Biennial – the prestigious fashion event held in Toronto this spring. The ponchos are being created as part of an artist residency at Selkirk College; Bourque is a graduate of the Kootenay School of the Arts Jewelry and Small Object Design program (2013), the Sculptural Metal program (2015), and the Textiles program (2023).

The artist talk is free and open to the public, no registration is required. For more information about the exhibition and events at the Museum, visit nelsonmuseum.ca

What exactly is a play reading?

A play reading is the most basic version of a play. Actors deliver their lines directly from the script with minimal direction and movement, but in character and with gusto. There are no technical elements such as props, costumes or lighting, but someone reads the stage directions aloud to give the audience the context for each scene.

(from What’s a Play Reading and Why is it Cool? By Andrew Kleindon)
