How many of your meetings this year have begun with a discussion of the nearest fire exits and emergency assembly areas?
For one weekend only, Princeton University Players presents “Little Shop of Horrors.” Composed by Alan Menken and written by Howard Ashman, this musical incorporates horror, comedy and rock in the tale of a florist shop worker raising a flesh-eating plant. PUP’s production, directed by Tyler Lawrence ’16, runs this Thursday, Friday and Saturday in the Matthews Acting Studio at 185 Nassau Street. Senior Writer Caroline Hertz caught up with Lawrence to get the inside scoop on this quirky show.
Oct. 25: My fall break began with waiting for the Tiger PaWW bus in the wrong spot for about 20 minutes. But I do get points for being on the right side of the train tracks on the first try. Granted, I spent a while making sure of this. I didn’t want to end up in some northern wasteland (looking at you, Maine). Arriving in D.C. was strange at first. My toothbrush was missing from the bathroom. My place at the dinner table had changed. But my bedroom was exactly the same as I had left it. It was comforting to know my mom hadn’t turned it into a workout room or renovated it into a disco hotspot. Yet.

Musical: PUP’s “Little Shop of Horrors”If you liked the video game “Plants vs. Zombies,” you’lllove Princeton University Players’ musical featuring a plant with a zombie-like fondness for human flesh. In this Broadway classic, harmless nerd Seymour Krelborn(who worksin theMushnik’s Skid Row Florist Shop) discovers a mysterious plant with a not-so-harmless craving for blood. As Seymour’s crush on the shop assistant Audrey grows, so does the plant’s appetite. Tickets are on sale now, and this show only runs one weekend! Get your tickets before you get devoured by a monster plant (or before the last showon Saturdaynight)!
Dear Sexpert,
The days before midterms are all about hitting the books, but there's no reason they should only involve tears and empty 5-hour energy bottles. This week, Street takes a look at some of the more exciting titles on Fall syllabi and students' reading experiences on campus.
Street sat down with All-Nighter Season 3 hosts Eliot Linton ’15 and Jake Robertson ’15 to get a behind-the-scenes look at Princeton’s favorite (and only) late-night talk show.
Between the monolithic bustle of Frist Campus Center and the postcard-perfect sector of North campus, Prospect House and its adjoining garden stand apart. While the Italianate villa and its small botanical garden currently serve as a faculty dining hall and gathering point for various segments of the Princeton community, the building has a remarkable history and has evolved in many ways over the years. From serving as a summer retreat for Southern slave-owners, to the much-protested home of the then-University President Woodrow Wilson Class of 1879, to the house’s ultra-modern redesign in the 1960s, Prospect House has participated in Princeton history, as well asAmerican history,in surprising ways.
This show begins like any episode of Law and Order — with signs of a struggle.

Concert: Princeton University Orchestra Season Opener
Dear Sexpert,
Emily Burr ’15, Max Crawford ’15 and Josh Morrison ’17 have had theirs for a little over a year. Maxson Jarecki ’16 and Jane Pritchard ’15 have had theirs for three. Yet long before a tattoo artist ever set needle to skin, however, all five students had been carrying the words and images now etched on their bodies in the back of their minds.
You probably saw them at the Activities Fair: dancers dressed in colorful, backless dresses or tuxedos, urging freshman to add their netIDs to their sign-up sheet.
The Writers Studio is a mysterious piece of Princetoniana about which most students have never heard. No one seems to quite know what it is, but it has quietly served as a secluded nook for those in the know to study and work quietly, with a cozier atmosphere than a typical library. Hidden away on the third floor of Blair Hall, the Writers Studio serves as an enclave for writers and poets, as well as any student seeking an alternative study space.
Close your eyes, and imagine you’re walking into a Broadway theater.
