Village Playhouse musical continues through July 18
Midtown/Sheri Grace Productions has brought back their award-winning musical "Reefer Madness: The Hit Musical" to the Village Playhouse. The show is directed by Ryan Ahlert, with musical director Robbi Kenney. Performances are at Village Playhouse, at 915 Coleman Blvd. in Mount Pleasant.
Performances are 8 p.m. Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays, through July 18; and at 5 p.m. July 12.
The original film was meant as a cautionary tale to keep young people away from marijuana. Over the years the movie's exaggerated acting, ham-fisted dialogue, one-sided viewpoint and medically questionable storyline turned it into a cult favorite of grade-B movie lovers.
Ticket are $25 for adults and seniors, $20 for students with an ID. To purchase, call 795-2223 or visit etix.com. For more information, e-mail Sheri Grace Wenger at sherigrace@yahoo.com.
