Brewing on Austin Community College’s Highland Campus is a black-box hot box of theatrical proportions – the musical adaptation of iconic PSA/drugsploitation flick Reefer Madness (aka The Burning Question, aka Dope Addict, aka Doped Youth, aka Love Madness). Via the music and lyrics of Kevin Murphy & Dan Studney (who also penned the play’s book), the Drama Department serves a tongue-in-cheek take on ye olde Mary Jane moral panic. Light up a jazz cigarette, daddy-o, but only if you’re covered by the “Mature Audiences ONLY” warning. Shows kick off this Friday. – James Scott
