SAN DIEGO -- Get out to Old Town San Diego State Historic Park, and support Cygnet Theatre's ninth season, which officially began Thursday night.

Director Sean Murray and Executive Director Bill Schmidt will present productions ranging from Shakespeare to Williams; and for Cygnet's musical-lovers, two uniquely thrilling productions.

Cygnet's season begins with "The Little Shop of Horrors", a rock musical based on the 1960s camp film that follows the story of a hapless florist shop worker who raises a plant that feeds on human blood.
