Film | LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS

Tribeca may be a far cry from the Skid Row of Little Shop of Horrors, but you can still head downtown and cheer on everyone's favorite nerd Rick Moranis as he encounters a crazed dentist (Steve Martin) and battles a blood-sucking alien plant. And because we're not fond of drinking blood like Audrey II, we've included a beer as part of the ticket price. Host Raven Snook will start out the night with trivia & prizes, and as always, costumes are encouraged! Director: Frank Oz. 94 min. 1986. www.92YTribeca.org/Film

*JUST ADDED* Sun, Oct 25, 1:30 pm - 5:30 pm, $15 / $12 students

Join the New York City Opera and 92YTribeca for a lively, interactive, and fun afternoon of music, art, and thought-provoking conversation celebrating the NYCO's revival of Hugo Weisgall's American masterpiece Esther.

After thirteen years of marriage, Annabelle Gurwitch and Jeff Kahn have found out that "We're just not that into us."
