To plant a garden is to believe in tomorrow –

maybe or maybe not?

As we draw towards the last few days of the school session for

2016 -2017 it is always uplifting to watch and listen as the annual

school show comes together. The mood of the building is buoyed by

the music and buzz of rehearsal.

This year’s show is a rather offbeat choice. Most of the pupils

who form the cast and crew hadn’t heard of it. It is a show based

around a rather strange character called Audrey II.

There were restrictions on the specification for the role of

Audrey II given that it required someone of ‘small stature’.

There was point, indeed, where it seemed like it might be a toss-

up between Mrs Rutherford and myself. Thankfully we were

saved at the eleventh hour by one of our former pupils, Jenna

Healy, who interestingly enough intends to train as a dentist. I’m

sure you will get the significance of this as the story unfolds.

Tonight’s production is a showcase for a great deal of the

ingredients which create the excellence epitomising St Ambrose

High School. The efforts and enthusiasm which are essential in

making this happen are the very components which help to build

well-nigh invincible relationships between pupils and staff.

Talented young people nurtured by staff from across the whole

school work in harmony, on and off stage, to ensure we have a

show worthy of the school’s reputation.

A quick glance at tonight’s programme gives an indication of the

impressive extent of the involvement of students and staff.

I’m know that you are in for a musical treat. However I am a

little concerned that it make put you off making your next

dental appointment.

Enjoy the show and thanks for your sterling support.

Mrs Douglas, Head Teacher

Foreword

Little Shop of Horrors is a delectable sci-fi

horror musical with an electrifying 1960s

pop/rock score by Alan Menken and Howard

Ashman.

Seymour Krelborn is a meek and dejected

assistant at a floral shop who happens upon

a strange plant, which he affectionately

names “Audrey II” after his crush at the

shop. Little does he know that this strange

and unusual plant will develop a soulful R&B

voice, a potty mouth, and an unquenchable

thirst for HUMAN BLOOD.

As Audrey II grows bigger and meaner, the

carnivorous plant promises limitless fame

and fortune to Seymour, as long as he con-

tinues providing a fresh supply of blood.

Just when it’s too late, Seymour discovers

Audrey II’s extra-terrestrial origins and

her true drive for world-domination.
