High Tide Theatrical

Reporter Jimmy Rea spoke to cast members in the Springfield production of “Little Shop of Horrors,” as well as actor and Missouri State University alumnus John Goodman, about his advice for young actors.

High Tide Theatrical’s next production, “The Laramie Project,” portrays conversations within a community after a tragic hate crime leaves a gay man dead. We speak with the show’s director and an actor about tackling emotional subject matter and how theater can help audiences better understand one another.

Reporter Jimmy Rea speaks with Executive Director Dr. Gretchen Teague and founding member Kristin Farr about the festival and the organization’s path to this year’s event.

The production will be at the Lightroom Lounge at Martha's Vineyard May 23-31.

The venue is located at 215 W. Olive in downtown Springfield.
