The Little Shop of Horrors was much funnier than I remember from seeing the movie when I was a kid. But t did have some scarier moments, and the violence from Audrey 2 was a bit too much at times. But all in all, a good show.

The Lost Colony of Roanoke Island
We saw the outdoor theater of The Lost Colony while we were on the Outer Banks. The show is incredible, but be sure to bring bug repellant. Although the bugs do help you remember what is must have been like for the original settlers. I posted a few photos of the Lost Colony, as well [...]
