A Note From the Director

Seymour Krelborn is a nerdy orphan who is taken in and given a job by Mr. Mushnik, the owner of a flower shop in urban Skid Row. Seymour spends his time doing menial tasks and dreaming of the shop assistant, Audrey. One day, just after the total eclipse of the Sun, Seymour discovers a strange plant. He buys it and names it Audrey II. While caring for Audrey II, Seymour discovers the plant's rather unique appetite. The plant grows and grows, as does Seymour's infatuation for Audrey, but who will get her first? Will Audrey II take over the world or will Seymour and Audrey defeat it? FEED ME! I would like to dedicate this musical to Mr. Daryle Freeman, our musical director.

I, as your mother, can truly say, Thanks for being a positive, respectful, obedient support system for me. This has given me the strength to continue being that positive and motivated support for you to become the young man God has prepared you to be. IM DEFINITELY A PROUD MOMMY O yea, your brother Kyron says, Hes aight. LOL Love you with all that I have, -Moma/Kyron

From the day you were born, I knew you were someone special. Each year you seem to expound to another level. I knew this was coming, but I couldnt imagine the greatness where God was taking you! You have continued to show that God is the head of your life and that he is in control! I know that you will be great at whatever your future holds for you.

This is truly from babes to drama!! I remember giving you lines, on a Sunday morning, in the choir room, before service was to begin at age 2. When you stepped up to say your lines, no one but you and I knew that you had just rehearsed them in the back! You have continued to fall in the line of a natural!

Congratulations Kameron,
Keep up the good work. We are proud of you as you serve as our first lieutenant in the drill team and as a young minister at True Light. Eccl. 9:10 Whatever you find your hands to do, do it with all your might. Be blessed,
