DESCRIPTION:Theatre Wesleyan has announced that their 71st Annual Spring Musical, LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS, will be presented for one weekend only this April. Additionally, it will be director Joe Brown’s final Theatre Wesleyan musical to direct, as he retires after more than 45 years at Texas Wesleyan University. Brown’s decades of leadership were recognized with a Lifetime Achievement Award during Arts Fort Worth’s Heart of Gold Awards at the east Fort Worth university on February 27.     Performances will be presented at the Thad Smotherman Theatre at Texas Wesleyan University (1205 Binkley Street, 76105) from Thursday, April 23 through Sunday, April 26, 2026. Tickets can be purchased online at txwes.edu/theatretickets.   A deviously delicious sci-fi smash hit musical, LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS has devoured the hearts of theatregoers for over thirty years, and is currently running off-Broadway. The meek floral assistant Seymour Krelborn stumbles across a new breed of plant he names "Audrey II" - after his coworker crush. This foul-mouthed, R&B-singing carnivore promises unending fame and fortune to the down and out Krelborn as long as he keeps feeding it blood. Over time, though, Seymour discovers Audrey II's out-of-this-world origins and intent towards global domination!      PERFORMANCE DATES      Thursday, April 23 at 7:30 pm     Friday, April 24 at 7:30 pm     Saturday, April 25 at 7:30 pm     Sunday, April 26 at 2:00 pm Matinee      SATURDAY EVENING PRE-SHOW EVENT  The Alumni Weekend Happy Hour Event, honoring Joe Brown, will happen before the Saturday evening performance.
