You are invited to join us at 301 Cedar Ave (recently the Afghan Cultural Center) this Saturday, April 4th from 5–10PM, to celebrate the Issue #1 release of Cataract Quarterly, a new periodical dedicated to digressive surveys of mundane existence. Written and designed by Augsburg Visual Art & Design Assistant Professor Dan Ibarra. Issue 1 features “The Remnant”, the story of a parcel of land ‘too small and poorly shaped to have any practical value.’

There will be copies for sale, a conversation at 7PM between Ibarra and Augsburg Environmental Studies Director Joe Underhill, cool-weird folks like you to talk to and hear from, hot dog and sambusa bar, music, drinks, and hand-made jersey barrier–shaped seed bombs free with every purchase (while supplies last).

Little Shop of Horrors
Book by Howard Ashman
Music by Alan Menken
Lyrics by Howard Ashman
Based on the film by Roger Corman, screenplay by Charles Griffith
Directed by Luverne Seifert

A plant that can make dreams come true…
Or is it a mean green mother from outer space?

After a total eclipse of the sun, the meek floral assistant Seymour Krelborn stumbles across a new breed of plant he names “Audrey II” – after his coworker crush. This foul-mouthed, R&B-singing carnivore promises unending fame and fortune to the down and out Krelborn as long as he keeps feeding it, BLOOD. Over time, though, Seymour discovers Audrey II’s out of this world origins and intent towards global domination! A hilarious mashup of science fiction, horror, and musical theater, this nostalgic classic boasts Motown-inspired hits like “Git It,” “Suddenly Seymour,” and “Somewhere That’s Green.”

Little Shop of Horrors is presented through special arrangement with Music Theatre International (MTI).
All authorized performance materials are also supplied by MTI.
