CRE8IV Youth Theatre has been created by renowned local theatre company CRE8IV Theatre Co., known for their smash hit productions of School of Rock at Blackpool's Grand Theatre, SIX the musical and a sell out run at The Edinburgh Fringe Festival. The newly formed company is based at CRE8IV Little Theatre Thornton, is founded and directed by Chris and Claire Higgins and features experienced young performers from CRE8IV Theatre Co's previous productions.

CRE8IV Youth Theatre's debut production of Little Shop of Horrors features the unforgettable songs "Feed Me", "Suddenly Seymour", amazing vocals, a hint of romance and an iconic man-eating plant called Audrey 2 who is sure to steal the show!

Join Seymour and Audrey in this high-energy, laugh-out-loud performance brought to life by some of the most talented young performers in the Fylde Coast. 

CRE8IV Youth Theatre member Willa Ava Johnson took on the challenge to create two of the Audrey 2 puppets for the show. Willa, a local artist and year 10 art GCSE student at LSA High School not only plays the role of Chiffon in the show but also took time out from rehearsals to design the puppets.
