Reefer Madness: The Musical
7:30pm / Durango Arts Center
Book by Kevin Murphy & Dan Studney
Music by Dan Studney
Lyrics by Kevin Murphy
Originally directed by ANDY FICKMAN and produced by STEPHANIE STEELE for DEAD OLD MAN PRODUCTIONS
Inspired by the original 1936 film of the same name, 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.
House opens 30 minutes before listed show time.
REEFER MADNESS is presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals. www.concordtheatricals.com
