LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS

Stray Cat proudly concludes season 23 with a distinctly Stray Cat approach to a beloved favorite - the camp-tastic sci-fi classic musical LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS. This production promises even more of the humor you’re used to - just with a decidedly more adult edge. This production will also lean into the ‘horror’ and hopefully land darker than past revivals - a ghoulish, yet undeniably hilarious - nightmarish descent into violence and the monstrous hunger for validation.Some monsters are born. Others are just waiting to bloom.The full press release is below.Please let me know if you need anything additional.FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASELITTLE SHOP OF HORRORSbook and lyrics by Howard Ashmanmusic by Alan Menkindirected by Ron Maymusical direction by Mark 4manchoreographed by Stephen HohendorfTempe Center for the Arts Studio TheatreMay 2 - 17, 2025Feed me, Stray Cat!The characters are the same. The songs are the same. But the show won’t be. We have watched this long-time favorite on local stages for decades and accrued a whole rolodex of thoughts in the vein of, “…what would happen if we did a production Stray Cat style?” Welp. Time to find out! We’re about to do everything we can to put the ‘horrors’ back into the little shop y’all know and love.Please be aware the show contains adult language and situations and comic depictions of over-the-top gore.

WONDER: Social Surrealism in Contemporary Art Closing Reception Featuring Performances by Abby Fisher

(un)certainty (2024) by Lawton Hall and Figure to Ground by Andrea Mazzariello are two pieces that will be performed in this concert, each offering a unique exploration of rhythm and complexity. (un)certainty, scored for solo marimba and electronics, delves into the tension between surety and doubt, inspired by advances in particle physics. Its five movements range from bold, frantic chords to quiet reflection, culminating in a rhythmic battle between marimba and electronics. Figure to Ground, written for Abby Fisher, simplifies rhythmic complexity into a single syncopated figure, gradually dissolving the pulse until a late melody reasserts it. Both pieces demand courageous performances, inviting listeners into deep contemplation of time and structure.

Journeys in Spirit 2025: Traditional and Contemporary Native Art

The ‘Tis Art Center & Gallery is proud to present "Journeys in Spirit 2025: Traditional and Contemporary Native Art,” a collaborative exhibition with the Museum of Indigenous Peoples. This highly anticipated annual event, which runs from Thursday, May 22 through Tuesday, June 24, will showcase the rich cultural heritage and artistic expressions of Native American communities. Featuring an extraordinary collection of works — including paintings, basketry, jewelry, photography, beadwork and ceramics — the exhibition is free and open to the public. Visitors are also invited to attend an artist reception during Prescott’s 4th Friday Art Walk on May 23 from 5–7 p.m., where they can watch a painting performance by a live painter named Chroma, engage with other artists and learn more about the creative process behind the works on display. Journeys in Spirit highlights the creativity and talent of Native American artists from a range of tribal backgrounds, including Hopi, Cherokee, Dine’, Yaqui, Choctaw, Muskogee Creek, Yavapai and more. Some artists continue to live within their tribal communities; others have built lives outside these environments, while remaining deeply connected to their heritage. Through their work, each artist shares a unique perspective and cultural narrative. The ‘Tis Art Center & Gallery extends its gratitude to the City of Prescott and the Prescott Area Arts and Humanities Council for their continued support of this exhibition.
