Welcome to Little Shop of Horrors—a delightfully dark, wildly entertaining story that reminds us to be careful what we wish for and to consider the true cost of our ambitions.
We are proud to share that the Blue Falcon Theatre Company has returned to full Broadway-style productions. This milestone reflects a renewed commitment to excellence and to providing students with authentic theatrical experiences.
This production has been made possible by the passion and collaboration of many dedicated individuals. Our remarkable cast and crew have devoted countless hours to bringing this story to life with talent, teamwork, and heart. It has been a privilege to watch them grow throughout this process.
I am especially grateful to our choreographer, Celeste Reynolds, for her vibrant vision and storytelling, and to Matthew Burrows for his musical leadership and direction of our outstanding live orchestra, whose work adds energy and authenticity to every moment.
A special thank you to the Mashpee CREATES team—Kristen Deschamps, Kristina Fraser, and Matthew Burrows—for fostering a program where students take creative risks and grow as artists. I am proud to call them colleagues and friends.
We also thank Superintendent Dr. Michele Connors and Principal Bonnie Brady for their continued support of the arts, as well as Mashpee families and our community for their encouragement.
On a personal note, thank you to my wife, Erin Zuaro, and my boys, Tyler and Michael, for their love and support.
We hope you enjoy the show!
Warmly,
Lawrence Zuaro
