IOWA LAKES FOUNDATION HOSTS DINNER THEATRE

In conjunction with the Lakes Community Theatre, the Iowa Lakes Community College Foundation will be hosting an evening of fun and food on Thursday, Feb. 22 when "Little Shop of Horrors" will be performed in dinner theatre format at the beautiful Lakes Art Center in Okoboji.

The play revolves around Seymour Krelbour, a poor young man working at a rundown flower shop on skid row, when he encounters a miracle. He discovers an alien plant after a total eclipse of the sun. After bringing the plant to the store, he gains fame, fortune and love. The only defect is that the plant feeds on human blood. Seymour and the plant make a deal that if the plant continues to bring Seymour positive attention; he will in turn continue to feed the plant human bodies. This new version of a classic musical is based on the movie by the same title starring Steve Martin, Rick Moranis and Bill Murray.

The evening will begin at 6 p.m. with social time. The 6:30 p.m. dinner will be catered by Sandan’s Catering in the Pomerantz Hall (lower level). At 7:30 p.m., the play will begin in the Lauridsen Performing Arts Theatre of the Lakes Art Center. Dinner menu will consist of chicken breasts and pork loin, parsley potatoes, cheese-hash brown casserole, green beans with almonds, dinner salad, dessert and roll.

Tickets are $30 and reservations may be made by calling the LAC Box Office at 712-332-7029 and specifying the Feb. 22 Iowa Lakes Community College Foundation Scholarship Benefit Evening. All proceeds from the Feb. 22 performance will support music and art scholarships for students at Iowa Lakes Community College.
