Joliet Drama Guild presents Reefer Madness

Published on

ent@thetimesweekly.com

Inspired by the original 1936 film of the same name, this raucous musical comedy 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, 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. Reefer Madness is a highly stylized and satirical political commentary that will leave you wanting more.

Tickets are $20 for adults and $18 for students and seniors.

You can reserve tickets by leaving a message at 815-715-8881 or email jdg@thejolietdramaguild.com.

Tickets can be  purchased at the door or following the link above.

This show contains adult themes and is not suitable for children. We caution you will be seeing images and props of drugs, gun shots, intense adult themes, strong language, smoking and partial nudity. Bicentennial Park Theatre is located at 201 W Jefferson St Jolie
