High School Thespians Delight with Spring Production

The Lindenhurst High School Thespian Troupe and music department put on a successful spring production of Little Shop of Horrors in March. Audiences were enthralled by this rock musical’s tale of love and ambition—as well its man-eating plant.

Lead actor David Schrader played the hapless protagonist Seymour, while Julie Ricotta played his flower shop co-worker and secret crush Audrey. In a remarkable feat of puppetry and talent, the play’s killer plant, Audrey II, was brought to life by students Bean Cameron and John Delio and was voiced by Phoenix Desroches. Ayla Jennings played greedy shop owner Mr. Mushnik, Riley Buckley played Audrey’s abusive dentist boyfriend Dr. Orin Scrivello, while Cassandra Herrador, Zayla Rodriguez, and Chihiro Hall played the narrators Crysal, Ronnette, and Chiffon, respectively. Together, the cast brought Skid Row—the rundown setting of the play—to life, much to the audiences’ delight.

Little Shop of Horrors ran on March 15 and 16, with a special free performance for the community’s senior citizens on March 13.
