The Genesians are Immaculate Heart's drama club named for Saint Genesius, the patron saint of actors. They put on two major productions each year: a play and a musical.
This year's musical production is "Little Shop of Horrors," written by Howard Ashman (book and lyrics) with music by Alan Menken, an award winning dark musical comedy follows Seymour Krelborn, a struggling florist who discovers a mysterious, carnivorous plant that promises fame and fortune. As the plant, named Audrey II, grows more powerful and demands increasingly gruesome sacrifices, Seymour must confront the moral dilemmas of his ambitions.
A Catholic, independent college preparatory school for girls in grades 6 through 12, Immaculate Heart has been located on a beautiful hillside property in the Los Feliz area of Los Angeles since our founding by the Sisters of the Immaculate Heart of Mary in 1906. We celebrate more than a century of nurturing the spiritual, intellectual, social and moral development of students as they distinguish themselves as women of great heart and right conscience.
