ALEXIS "LEXII" JOHNSON (Crystal) is thrilled to bring a little sparkle, soul, and attitude to the role of Crystal in LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS! Alexis is a proud Chicago native with roots in gospel choir, she loves powerful vocals, big personalities, and any opportunity to be just a little dramatic. Previous credits include a Spare Part in FRANKENSTEIN, Momma Bear and Dragon in SHREK THE MUSICAL, and the Cowardly Lion in THE WIZ. When she's not on stage, she's probably singing at karaoke, working events at her lovely job, or pretending she has room for one more houseplant. Alexis would like to thank her family, friends, and this amazing cast and crew for their support. Enjoy the show and remember, the plants are never as innocent as they look!
ADORA TEBOH (Ronnette) is excited to be back with her Art Factory family. Her previous credits include roles in RENT as Joanne Jefferson, HAIRSPRAY! as Cindy Watkins, THE ROCKY HORROR SHOW, CABARET (Frenchie) and more. As a passionate vocalist and young music educator, Adora explores a wide range of vocal styles while pursuing her degree in Music Education at Sam Houston State. When she's not singing, she's reading, gaming, teaching... and singing some more.
DALLIS WILLIAMS (Chiffon) is a born and raised Houstonian and an HSPVA alumnus who is ecstatic to join the stage with such talented creatives. Her background in music started at Parker Elementary, where she then continued to study and obtain a Bachelor's in Violin Performance and a Master's in Music Industry Studies. Her first major theater production was at Stageworks Theater Tampa, where she starred as Celie (THE COLOR PURPLE) while battling being a full-time student and chamber music organizer. She then moved back home to Houston and continued her studies, as well as her journey in theater with Moore Vision’s NUNSENSE (Sister Hubert), ONCE ON THIS ISLAND (Mama Euralie), ORDINARY DAYS (Deb Cast B), RENT (Ensemble - soloist). She has also worked with other companies such as Playhouse 1960’s COMPANY (Marta), The Garden Theater (ASSASSINS - Soloist), Class Act Productions (Medda Larkin), and Playhouse 1960’s PARADE (Minnie McKnight/Angela), Art Factory’s SHREK THE MUSICAL (Fairy Godmother), CABARET (Kit Kat Girl), HAIRSPRAY (Little Inez). She is happy to continue to grow as a performer and to share the stage with an incredible cast!
MIKE COHEN (Mr. Mushnik) is beyond excited to have his first-ever theatrical and/or stage appearance be alongside the incredible talent that Art Factory attracts, their masterful Directing, and the amazingly good-time that is LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS. Mike's Mustache ("THE 'STACHE") is also excited to make his first ever solo world-debut. THE 'STACHE hails from NY and boasts a Super Mario meets Dad-in-Cargo-Shorts-and-white-New-Balance-sneakers vibe. THE 'STACHE was a long-standing member of the ensemble known as "THE BEARD" for many years prior to striking out on his own, and it has called Houston home for nearly 3 weeks now, while Mike has resided here for almost a decade. With this former (and maybe again future?) ensemble, THE 'STACHE has had many speaking engagements in front of large crowds as a many-time global conference keynote speaker. THE 'STACHE has had the amazing opportunity of traveling across 4 continents for his speaking engagements, and prior, had a short stint in spoken word (slam) poetry. THE 'STACHE would like to thank the Upper Lip, Cheek Bones, and Nose for their amazing support during its 3 week journey, it couldn't have done it without them. MIKE is beyond grateful for the love of his 2 year old daughter, and the unimaginable and unwavering support of his wife through this first-experience-journey he's had - and also for putting up with THE 'STACHE for its, what is sure to be, very brief solo career.
