Treat Dad to a Father's Day afternoon of theatre and laughs at production of the hilarious Little Shop of Horrors, the spoof of 1950s sci-fi movies in which a down-and-out skid row floral assistant becomes an overnight sensation when he discovers an exotic plant with a mysterious craving for fresh blood. Hilarity ensues as “Audrey II” quickly grows into an ill-tempered, foul-mouthed, out of-control singing carnivore. 2-4 p.m.; tickets $18.
