Shop of Horrors crew hard at work

Putting together the Little Shop
of Horror’s production is a three-
month chore that involves over 70
students of Parkland Secondary,
plus volunteers from the commun-
ity and supporting staff.

Stage manager Jeff Costin is
enthusiastic about the work he’s
doing, although once the audience
sits down, his work may not be all
that noticeable.

“The set, when complete, will
look quite simple but it’s fairly
complicated to build,’ Costin
said.

Hinges on the side walls will
allow the side walls of the Little
Shop to open right up, allowing
scenes to be played inside.

“Side buildings are supposed to
be in a slum area but they have
balconies six-feet up so they have

to be really solid,” he said.

Props are realistic and include
old metal dentist tools, that are
actually surgical tools, but look
gruesome enough to do the job.

The largest Audrey II, a plant
character Seymour first sees after
a total eclipse of the sun, will have
a slide at the back to accommodate
the two people who will fall in,
and a third who jumps in.

Many cast members are in
Grade 10 but bring valuable expe-
rience from last year’s production
of Grease.

The musical, which ends in

” tragedy, won’t open until Dec. 18.

But already, students are keeping
their focus on a tight schedule and
working hard towards a common
goal.
