Off-Broadway production of Shop of Horrors' bizarre, Leafy green man-eating plants are invading the world. They start off small, in little out-of-Jthe-way florist shops like the one jusfr down the street. But they have the; annoying habit of growing to unbelievable sizes and then demand ing loudly and persistently to be; fed. And their goal is world conquest. Our only hope rests in the hajids of one man. But here's the bad news. That man is none other than (no, not George Bush) Seymour Lab Theatre By! ANDREW LAWLER Staff Writer The Lab takes a stab at Shaw this weekend with their fifth production of Jthe year: "Candida" (that's pro nounced Canada with an extra "d," not to be confused with "Candide" byVoltaire.) Candida" is set in a prominent Anglican minister's home in 1894 London. The Reverend Morrell and hii wife, Candida, seem content until a flamboyant poet invades their hojne, causing consternation and chos, all revolving around Candida. Ruth Fletcher, a senior from Valdese, chose to direct this play because of her love of the theatrical style that she says Bernard Shaw embodies. "I really enjoy Ibsen and Chekov, and Shaw continued that style he really was the 'Quintes BSM choir to From staff reports There is at least one occasion when it won't be sacrilegious for a Tar Heel to sport royal blue: this Sunday at the'Black Student Movement Gospel Choir's 18th Annual Fall Concert. More than 80 talented, enthusiastic singers will spread some of that Tar Heel spirit, even while clad in royal blue. The choir's performance is sure to be one of their best ever.

"The language is dated in a sense because it is difficult and wordy. He did write of his age then people understood him beautifully," said Fletcher. However, in spite of the dated and geographical references Fletcher said the issues raised, fem inism and the inapproachability of the Church are still pertinent. Jennifer Stratman, a junior from Indonesia, plays Candida. She spoke of the complexity of the character: "Candida is so faceted, she's a mass of contradictions flirt, mother, 'Virgin Mary' and yet she is somewhat wicked and self-centered." She says students will enjoy the play. "If they get over it's being Shaw, I think they can easily relate to it and enjoy the wit and language." perform gospel selections the performance include "The Power That Makes Us Sing," a song from the choir's 1982 album; I'm Excited; "Put Your Trust in Jesus;" "Oh Magnify the Lord with Me;" and "Old Time Way."

"Little Shop," which opened off Broadway in 1982, tells Krelbourne's story as he discovers and later becomes nursemaid to a "strange and interesting plant" from outer space. Kelly Johnston, a junior from Durham who plays Candida's hus band, agreed. "It's a pleasant play, as Shaw said. And it does address serious issues." The play led to a lot of political discussions according to junior Rhetta Whiley, who plays the reve rend's secretary. She added that feminist issues are inherent in the play that women are not just mothers or wives but complete and multi faceted people.

Leslie Denise Alston, Bridget Fogle and Shirell Ferguson were delightful as these ever-present Skid Row ragamuffins, offering hilariously telling comments on the show's action. And not only did they make you laugh, but man, could these girls belt. Also highlighting the cast were Todd Sherry as Seymour and Mary O'Neill as Audrey, Audrey II 's namesake and the light of Seymour's life. Sherry, with his thick glasses and untucked shirt, made a humorously weak-willed and cowering hero, The DTH Campus Calendar is a daily listing of University-related activities sponsored by academic departments, student services and student organizations officially recognized by the Division of Student Affairs.

Especially notable was his duet tango "Mushnik and Son" with Steve Saydah, who played Mr. Mushnik, the desperate owner of the flower shop where Seymour works. O'Neill turned in a wonderful performance as Seymour's damsel in distress. In her only solo number, "Somewhere That's Green," O'Neill painted a funny but poignant picture of Audrey as a blonde bombshell who, underneath her spiked heels and breathy falsetto, secretly dreams of matchbox houses in the suburbs. But the true stars of the show were Michael Leon Wooley and puppeteer Kevin Kiley, the men behind Audrey II.

In addition, the show featured several great numbers, including "Skid Row (Downtown)" in the first act and "Suddenly Seymour," the romantic climax of the second act. The only disappointment of the show was the finale. After Audrey II had eaten every character of any significance, the final musical number, "Don't Feed the Plants," featuring only the now-alarmingly humongous plant in the middle of the stage, was weak and unsatisfying. Even the smoke and the psychedelic lighting couldn't make up for the fact that what should have been a bang up ending to an otherwise terrific production simply wasn't. night.
