heart desires, we see how all the riches and power in the world really
donʼt add up to much at all. Seymour makes a pact with evil to get what

and gentle satire of Little Shop of Horrors.
A special thanks to our fabulous designers Mark Schwahn, Ron

Richardson and our fabulous OCHS music teachers Amy Aamodt and
Bill Bartman! All of their hard work is in front of you tonight.
Enjoy the show!
