   YOu can rent AudreyII puppets from Music Theatre 

International - or you could check out: http://

www.mcavenedesigns.com/audrey1.htm - their puppets are 

beautiful also.

You shouldn't have to rent costumes, if you're on a limited 

budget - they're fairly easy to come up with.

If you're not familiar with sets, designing, construction, etc. you 

might like to check out http://www.scenographics.com/ .  You 

can rent the design plans for the set for (I think it's about) $100. 

This set is tricky, because you have to construct it in a way that 

the plant can be moved on and off...also - one of the counters 

needs to accomodate the puppeteer for one of the early plant 

puppets. They're pretty nice designs from scenographics - and 

they give you a complete shopping list, how-to directions, tool 

list, etc. All you have to do is read and follow the directions.

Directing tip: cast kids who can sing. This music is harder than 

it appears at first. Especially the three urchins - their harmonies 

are tight and not easy - gorgeous! - but not easy.

Have fun - it'll be a ton of work - but you'll have a blast!

	As far as renting the Audreys I would check out local or nearby community colleges or Schools f Performing Arts for them. We were able to rent ourd from a School of Performing Arts. It was only an hour away so we picked it up ourselves to save a ton on shipping. A nearby state college had one to rent as well. the only other thing we rented were a couple of wigs for the girl singers.

	Hey, guys. I'm new here. I am doing my very own production of Little Shop, and I was wondering if anyone had any tips for the role of Audrey. I tried blocking some of the scenes with the guy playing Orin, but I'm not very good at conveying fear in the middle of the day outside in front of people (who actually think it's real) and everytime he came near me screaming I started to laugh. I'm beginning to think I need some help.
	WOOT! They love me. Roles Audrey- LSoH Galinda- Wicked Sally- YAGMCB Queenie- Honk Swing- Damn Yankees
