Jennifer Holton Assistant A&E/Life Editor

“Little Shop of Horrors” has made its way from the silver screen to John Carroll University’s campus. The comedy-horror musical is sure to bring laughs, scares and an overall good time. The production will grace the stage of Kulas Auditorium beginning Oct. 23. Based on the cult movie by Corey Feld- man, with lyrics by Howard Ashman and music by Alan Menken, the musical follows a nerdy wannabe botanist and his mysterious plant with a unique appetite for blood. “We wanted to do something fun, and we know ‘Little Shop’ is also kind of a cult,” said Director Keith Nagy. “It’s a spoof on sci-fi and is meant to satirize the genre of science movies.” Nagy hopes that some audience members who know science fiction will catch some of the inside jokes that were originally included in the script. “It has all sorts of insinuations from the 50s, including ‘Donna Reed,’ ‘Father Knows Best’ and ‘I Love Lucy,’” he said. “You name it—if they could satirize it, it was there.” Even if you’re not a big science fiction buff, you won’t feel left out—the production has altered some lyrics of the songs to cor- relate with JCU.

Later in the afternoon, a touchdown by sophomore DaQuan Grobsmith and five field goals brought the football team to a crowd-pleasing 22-0 win. Afterwards over 700 JCU students headed downtown to the Cleveland Browns Stadium for the homecoming dance. “It was fun to get off campus and be with friends and not have to worry about anything.

The street fair brings smiles with human bowling and balloon animals (immediate and far left).
