You won’t be able to resist the spoofy fun of “Reefer Madness,” presented by North Harris College Theatre Department and Ca$h Carpenter Productions, on Aug. 7 to 12. All shows are set for 8 p.m., in NHC’s Performing Arts Theatre, 2700 W.W. Thorne Drive, Houston. Tickets are $15. For reservations and information, call 281.765.7963. This performance is not appropriate for younger audiences.
Inspired by the original 1936 film, this musical stage production is a highly stylized and satirical political commentary which 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. The addictive and clever musical numbers range from big Broadway-style showstoppers to swing tunes like “Down at the Ol’ Five and Dime” and the Vegas-style “Listen to Jesus, Jimmy,” featuring J.C. Himself leading a chorus of showgirl angels. This dynamic show will go straight to your head.
