This comic adaptation of the "Mary Jane" melodrama is based on the 1936 propaganda film Reefer Madness, which has become a hilarious cult classic. In playwright Sean Abley's parody, a group of clean-cut high-school students turns into a marijuana-crazed gang of hardcore criminals, who'll resort to anything, including theft, prostitution and murder, to satisfy their need to get high on the wacky weed.

Don't bother with the drinks! Way over priced and they don't know how to mix a drink.

Well, I wish I would have known that the Roy Arias Theatre was what it was. It seems that this is a place that people can attend acting classes and at the end of the session, they get to perform a play. I really don't want to call it an acting school. I would have enjoyed it more having know that from the start. I was really expecting something more professional with professional actors. I did however enjoy a couple (3 at best) of the actors. They delivered their lines very well. The others, don't quit your day job! Oh, well, ya get what ya pay for!

"Today Reefer Madness has reached cult status...Sean Abley's adaptation faithfully -- and hilariously -- reproduces the film's spirit and much of its dialogue." --Chicago Tribune

Description

Adam Roebuck Productions Presents
Reefer Madness -- The Cult "High" Flying "Hit" Play
By Sean Abley
Directed by Mickey McGuire

Bill, Mary, Gwen, and Jimmy are all swell kids. They listen to their parents, do well in school, and help out around the community — that is, until they get caught up in the marijuana subculture. With "Mary Jane" filling their lungs, these kids resort to theft, prostitution, and murder to satisfy their cravings, which leads to suicide and death sentences. Is one puff really too much? A hilarious send-up of the 1936 exploitation film, now a cult classic.
