Miller Community Theatre is proud to present the stage play “Reefer Madness: The Musical” at the Marshall J. Gardner Center for the Arts in the downtown area of the Miller Beach community. This is the sixth production presented by this lakefront community’s theatre company. The musical will feature talented actors from all across Northwest Indiana.
Reefer Madness: The Musical is based on the movie of the same name
In this hilarious, over-the-top musical satire, the high school drama club, led by the gravely stern Lecturer, illustrates the perils of the “leafy green assassin.” They tell the story of Jimmy, a fine, upstanding, All-American boy whose life falls apart because of the evil reefer. Jimmy is a good kid, with a bright future ahead of him. He has a sweetheart whom he loves, the wholesome and sweet Mary Lane. But when Jimmy is tricked into taking his first puff of reefer, his life quickly spirals downward. He begins to neglect his family, his schoolwork, even Mary, in order to spend all his time smoking marijuana at the Reefer Den. His addiction leads him to debauchery, sin, and theft.
Reefer Madness is an irreverent musical parody of the classic 1930s instructional film full of camp, hilarity, mayhem, and madness.
