Little Shop of Horrors EXTENDED through May 30!
Due to great word-of-mouth and outstanding acclaim, Performance Network Theatre’s
smash hit Little Shop of Horrors is being extended for an additional two weeks. The musical comedy will now run through Sunday, May 30th, at which time the show must close in order to make room for the upcoming Drama, The Seafarer.
When prodded for comment, Artistic Director David Wolber said "We're thrilled that audiences have enjoyed our version of Little Shop. It's always rewarding to have a bold concept like the one that Carla Milarch, Monika Essen and Naz Edwards created for Audrey II (The Plant) met with the joy and encouragement our audiences have shown. It's great that we'll be able to share this new envisioning of the play with audiences for a few more weeks."
Don't miss the show that the Detroit News is calling "a scramble of nutty fun," while Encore Michigan's Don Calamia heralds it as an "all-time favorite!" (Yep, he really said that).
If you're interested in a little preview of the show, watch the video.

The Voice Behind the Radio
Just who is Quentin Farlowe?
Wayne David Parker, or "Daba," as he is known to his friends, didn't begin acting until his senior year of high school, after his dreams of being a basketball player were shattered (standing at 5'4", this isn't terribly surprising).
Following one of the first ever high-school productions of Godspell and two years in a rock band, Parker has since gone on to grace the stages of Michigan's professional theatres including Williamston, Meadow Brook and the Purple Rose. (While doing an 18-month run of Escanaba in da Moonlight, Parker received three requests for an autograph during a Red Wings game, while his seat partner, Jeff Daniels, was not recognized).
With his gift for character voices, Parker's agent encouraged him to try his hand at radio and television, both of which he has found much success in. You may recognize him as the voice of Ford, Volkswagen, Goodyear, or On-Star. With this much experience, it seems fitting that Mars director Tony Caselli would cast him to play a 1930s radio actor.
Along with many Michigan artists, Parker has reaped the benefits of the state's recent film incentive. Street Boss and Stone, in which he shares the screen with Robert De Niro, are both due out this year.
After a 25 year absence from our stage, we're thrilled to have Daba back at the Network, where he's been reunited with some of his long-time friends Sandra Birch, Joseph Albright, Joe Zettelmaier and Tony Caselli.
To see the whole team in action, don't miss It Came From Mars!
