MONROE — The Monroe Theatre Guild is renting Audrey II from BB&G Unlimited out of Madison for its upcoming performances of ‘Little Shop of Horrors’.

Brent Bankes, the owner, delivered Audrey II on Sept. 26 and then demonstrated the set up, coached MTG puppeteer Ben Holland on how to operate her, and then demonstrated how she will eat her victims on stage.

When Audrey II is assembled, she is approximately 7-feet in length, 4-feet, 6-inches wide, 4-feet, 3-inches in height. When mounted on the chair — where the puppeteer sits — the pod stands 6-feet, 9-inches in total height.
