REEFER MADNESS at the Dougherty Arts Center

This musical comedy which had a short run Off Broadway runs for  four more days at the Dougherty before it returns to Spiderhouse next week-end.  Don't miss it!  The direction by Michael McKelvey is excellent and his casting selections are flawless.  The choreography is challenging to cast and crew as this performance occurs in two different venues.  We loved the energy, the talent and the parody of the hysteria surrounding reefer.  The play is based on a propaganda government issued film made in 1938  warning parents of the harmful influence of marijuana.  It's what musicals are made for "You got trouble right here in River City."  Hats off to Sarah Marie Curry (whom I studied Improv with) and Joey Banks who are fabulously talented as the leads.  The costumes, sets, props all worked so well to produce a fun evening of fine tuned musical theater. Go Go Go!
