The Toronto quartet have made a career out of its soft-focus sound. Their mix of blues, country, folk, rock and jazz have earned them both critical attention and a cult following. With ambient walls of guitar provided by Michael Timmins, the eerie harmonica accompaniment of Jeff Bird, longtime bassist Alan Anton, and Margo Timmins' hushed, contemplative voice, the group's alt-folk draws inspiration from Hank Williams, Lightnin' Hopkins and The Velvet Underground. Performance begins at 7:30pm

While browsing the wholesale flower district, Seymour finds a weird little plant he decides to take home. The plant does not thrive in its new environment; in fact, it appears to be dying. As Seymour tends to the other plants, he pricks his finger on a rose thorn, drawing blood. The little plant pod, named Audrey II, opens thirstily. It occurs to Seymour, the hungry little plant needs blood to survive!

If you like musicals, man-eating plants or sixties sci-fi, join us for this special presentation of the Little Shop of Horrors. Directed Dan and Victoria Watson of the Tampa, Florida Acting Studio.
