One night. Two performances. Total madness.
Inspired by the original 1936 film of the same name and based on The Brown Paper Box Co's 2010 sold-out hit, this raucous musical comedy takes a tongue-in-cheek look at the hysteria caused when clean-cut kids fall prey to marijuana, leading them on a hysterical downward spiral filled with evil jazz music, sex, and violence. Wrought with punchy musical numbers and biting political commentary, REEFER MADNESS! THE MUSICAL is a hilarious and highly stylized satirical spoof.
Set at a 1936 PTA meeting, the show-within-a-show's Lecturer uses scare tactics, song, dance, and a little heavenly intervention to band his audience against a leafy green assassin - "the real public enemy #1."With only 2 performances, tickets are disappearing fast! General Admission seats for both performances (7pm and 9pm) are only $20. For $40, guests will receive special VIP reserved seating, as well as "munchies" to enjoy during the performance. VIP guests can expect chips, brownies, and a cold beer (or pop for those under 21 years of age) when they arrive.* Denotes The Brown Paper Box Co. members
