The theatre department is adding a little quirk and campiness to the season with its latest production, "Little Shop of Horrors," about a flower shop employee who finds an odd-looking plant that becomes a sensation and revives the failing shop. It plays at 7:30 p.m. today and Saturday and 2:30 p.m. Sunday at Ethington Theatre. More shows are coming up Nov. 14-16. Story
