scheduled for 2 p.m. October 17.
LITTLE SHOP of Horrors,
written by Howard Ashman with
music by Alan Menken, provides
a two-act turnaround with a
pricetag for meek, nebbish Sey-
mour Krelbourn (Walbaum),
stuck in a dead-end job as a flo-
rist's assistant in a less-than-suc-
cessful flower shop on Skid Row.
Krelbourn's life changes when
he comes across an unusual little
plant in the wholesale flower dis-
trict after an equally unusual to-
tal eclipse of the sun. Naming the
plant "Audrey II" after the sales-
girl (Gold) who is his secret love,
Seymour attempts to grow the
plant.
His efforts, however, are of lit-
tle avail until he discovers the es-
sential element of its diet: blood.
As the plant thrives, bringing
Seymour the attention, fame and
fortune he craves, the two strike
a Faustian deal: Audrey II (voice:
Jon Garza; puppeteer: Sean Ben-
nington) agrees to attract publici-
ty if Seymour continues feeding
its growing appetite.
Seymour, his boss Mushnik
(Mark Frazier), Audrey and her
abusive dentist boyfriend (Chad
Weeth) are eventually swept into
the plant's evil machinations as
its alien identity and plans for
global domination become clear.
THE CAST includes three
dancing girls, Chiffon (Hannah
Schnabel), Crystal (Gina Russo)
and Ronnette (Hannah Kuhnau)
who serve as Audrey II's cheer-
leaders; a Mr. Martin (David Car-
nahan), a derelict (Bennington), a
bum turned customer (Aaron
Schnabel), a bag lady (Thomas),
and opportunists Bernstein
(Stephanie Freitag), Mrs. Luce
(Crystalee Amber Renkel) and
Vana Snip (Caitlin Hansen).
Rounding out the action are
the Skid Row Ensemble of Julie
Russo, Jenny Miser, Danielle An-
derson and Maria Densley. The
combo providing the instrumental
sound includes Connie Miser at
keyboard, Greg Fryhling at bass

ers are continuing their investiga-
tions into three fatal accidents on
highways in Mason County in re-
cent weeks.
The head-on crash that
claimed three lives on the morn-
ing of Wednesday, October 6, on
Highway 101 between the first
and second Shelton exits may
have been caused by one of the
drivers attempting to pass or
drifting over the centerline, said
Sergeant Wes Stockwell of the
WSP.
Troopers said a mid-sized 1984
Chevrolet pickup driven by Dale
W. Buel, 33, of Olympia, crossed
the centerline and collided with a
1981 Mazda pickup driven by
Johnny R. Michaels, 35. Buel and
Michaels died at the scene of the
wreck, as did Michaels' wife,
Irene (Johnson) Michaels, 37, who
was a passenger in the Mazda.
Both Mr. and Mrs. Michaels were
Shelton residents, although Mr.
Michaels' address was listed as
Lacey by the state patrol.
A second passenger in the Maz-
da, William A. Johnson, 20, of
Shelton, who was identified as
Mrs. Michaels' son, suffered mul-
tiple fractures and internal inju-
ries. He was airlifted to Harbor-
view Medical Center where he
was listed in satisfactory condi-
tion Wednesday morning.
not believe Buel swerved to avoid
anything thrown off the overpass.
Stockwell is asking anyone who
may have witnessed the crash or
observed Buel's driving before the
collision to call the state patrol at
426-6674.
Troopers are also awaiting the
results of toxicology tests involv-
ing the October 6 crash, as well
as two earlier traffic accidents
that involved fatalities. Those in-
cluded:
* A three-car wreck on State
Route 3 south of Bayshore Golf
Club on the evening of Friday,
October 1. Killed in that accident
were Larry L. Vopat, 39, and Rob-
ert E. Mooers, 80, both of Shelton.
The state patrol reported that Vo-
pat's vehicle crossed the center
line, grazing another vehicle be-
fore it hit Mooers' car virtually
head-on. Troopers suspect driving
under the influence may have
been a factor in the crash.
* A two-vehicle accident on the
morning of Tuesday, September
28, on Highway 101 south of Pot-
latch. Killed in that crash was
Cameron T. Morgan, 19, of Elma,
whose vehicle also reportedly
crossed the centerline to hit an
oncoming car. Troopers do not be-
lieve driving under the influence
was a factor in that crash.
