+++++* LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS* +++++

On December 9, 10, and 11, a man-eating plant invades CCHS in the 
musical comedy /Little Shop of Horrors/. Meek and mild Seymour is 
working in a flower shop when he discovers an exotic plant with an 
unusual appetite and a diabolical secret. The plant grows fast--as does 
Seymour's love for his co-worker Audrey--and the "feed-me" frenzy 
begins. The lively music will keep everyone's toes tapping while this 
colorful comic-book world comes to life. Performances will be *Friday, 
December 9 and Saturday, December 10 at 7:30 p.m., and Sunday, December 
11 at 2:30 p.m. in the CCHS Auditorium*. Tickets are *$15* and are

+++++* CCPOPS GENERAL MEETING* +++++

Is your kid into music, dance, or drama at CCHS? Then CCPOPS is for you! 
Come to our general meeting on *Tuesday, November 29, at 7 p.m. in the 
CCHS Band Room (A-4)* and check us out (no obligation). Join us for 
refreshments while you meet other parents of like-minded students. Learn 
about the upcoming Musicals--/Little Shop of Horrors/ in December and 
/Barnum/ in March. If what we do sounds like fun, then there are many 
opportunities for you to join in. Concord Carlisle Patrons of Performing 
Students (CCPOPS) is a non-profit organization created to support the 
CCHS students involved in the performing arts (Band, Chorus, Orchestra, 
Dance, Drama, and the Musicals). We are not a political organization. We 
provide our support directly by lending our personal skills, energy, and 
enthusiasm to enhance the quality of the performing arts experiences of 
the students. We also raise funds to support both particular events and 
the performing arts programs as a whole.
