  • ‘Little Shop of Horrors: The Musical’ presented by Charleston Light Opera Guild

    The Charleston Light Opera Guild will present multiple performances of ‘Little Shop of Horrors” between June 9 and 18, 2023 during FestivALL at the Guild Theater!

    Based on the 1960 Roger Corman movie, the musicalLittle Shop of Horrors” with music by Alan Menken and book and lyrics by Howard Ashman tells the story of Seymour Krelhourn, a meek floral assistant who makes a Faustian pact with a tiny plant in order to win the girl he loves. The mysterious Audrey II plant becomes an overnight sensation but exhibits a thirst for blood in order to survive and by the end of the show the plant’s secret threatens the entire planet.

    Little Shop of Horrors premiered Off-Off-Broadway before moving to the Off-Broadway Orpheum Theatre in NY in 1982 where it had a five-year run. The musical was captured in a 1986 film starring Rick Moranis as Seymour, Steve Martin as the dentist and Ellen Greene recreating her off-Broadway role as Audrey. With a hip score and book the musical played on Broadway in 2003, has enjoyed Britain’s West End productions, national and international tours, community and school productions, and is currently back Off-Broadway at the Westside Theatre in New York where it continues to receive critical acclaim.

    CLOG previously presented the comedic musical in 1987 at the Jefferson Street Workshop and in 2004 at the Guild Theatre.

  • You Might As Well Live

    The one-person play, You Might As Well Live, explores the life, loves, and legacy of literary icon and sharp-tongued member of the Algonquin Round Table – Dorothy Rothschild Parker.

    More details coming soon!

    On the eve of her death, and determined to be remembered as more than the creator of such quips as “The overseas crossing was so rough, the only thing I could keep on my stomach was the first mate”, Dorothy takes a pilgrimage through her own past talking to the ghost of her old friend Robert Benchley about the bastardization of literalture in the 1960’s and her hatred of Hemingway. In a journey packed with quick wit and a biting tongie, she sets out to make her mark in the literary scene of 1930’s New York City. From writing copy at Vogue Magazine to theatrical reviews at Vanity Fair, to scripting classic films in Hollywood (such as A Star is Born), You Might As Well Live explores Parker as she climbs the ladder of success, fighting for recognition as a female author in a male dominated world. She writes to escape her life only to discover that’s what her writing becomes.
