Reefer Madness

Hornsby Musical Society is proud to present Reefer Madness!

Inspired by the original 1936 propaganda 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.

With a book by Kevin Murphy (Heathers The Musical), Reefer Madness is a highly stylized and satirical political commentary that will leave you wanting more.

Content Warning: Reefer Madness contains depictions of drug use, sex, sexual assault, exaggerated violence and implied nudity. Viewer discretion is advised for patrons under 15 years.
