Q: What was it like being a part of Little Shop of Horrors?
A: “ It was wonderful working on LSOH. It was one of the best parts of my Sophomore year. The people were great,” said junior Nicole Squitieri, the stage manager.

Q: What was your favorite part of Little Shop of Horrors?
A: “My favorite thing about Little Shop of Horrors was the people I met and the friends I made,” said Squitieri.
