Note that this play contains drug use, sexual content and other
material that would shock and appall any good American citizen.
Cast members will be expected to assist in providing most/all of their
own costumes.  But you probably have everything in your closet
already.

Based off the cult classic movie, Reefer Madness is a terrible (and
terribly funny) warning to the parents of America about the new drug
menace, marihuana.  It tells the story of young Jimmy Harper, his love
for Mary Lane, and their descent into the vile world of reefer,
premarital sex and jazz music!
