Spring 2025

Reefer Madness

Performances: May 29, 30 & 31 (All shows at 7:30pm)

Inspired by the 1936 propaganda film of the same name, Reefer Madness is a satirical musical comedy that exaggerates the dangers of marijuana in a hilariously over-the-top fashion. With its catchy Broadway-style numbers and biting social commentary, this wild musical brings to life the hysteria of the jazz era as clean-cut teens descend into madness.
