About this production
What happens when a clean-cut kid from a stand-up family falls prey to a new deadly drug menace? Well, it is sad to say that his descent into the pit is filled with jazz, sex and violence. Inspired by the original 1936 film, this musical production will dive into the hysteria caused when fine, upstanding teenagers come across a leafy green assassin. And how, can we as a community, protect our kids from the stuff you ask? It's time for us to take a stand till the things that scare us are burned or banned.
​
This production will take place from April 20 to 29, 2023 at the MainLine Theatre.
​
REEFER MADNESS is presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals.
