"Reefer Madness: The Musical " Show Needs Singers
The company is holding auditions for "Reefer Madness: The Musical " and looking for performers, please see the details below. ONLY LOCAL TALENT WILL BE CONSIDERED. About the project: A wildly irreverent satirical musical comedy based on the infamous 1936 anti-marijuana propaganda film. Narrated by a pompous Lecturer, the show follows all-American teenager Jimmy Harper as he’s lured into a reefer den and his wholesome life spirals into deception, obsession, and madness. Outrageous and over-the-top. It’s 1930s camp, gangster movies, and musical theater madness colliding with sharp wit and a killer score. Additional info: RUN: October 9 – November 15, 2026 Fridays & Saturdays 8pm, Sundays at 2pm. Special performances on Thursday and Sunday nights may be added for private parties and special events. REHEARSALS: First Read-Through: Saturday, August 8, 2026, Noon – 4pm. Regular Rehearsal: August 10 – October 8, 2026 Mondays through Thursdays, 7pm – 10pm Saturdays, 11am – 4pm Possible Sundays (if needed), 6pm – 9pm Singing auditions: please prepare 16 bars of a musical theater or pop/rock song that showcases your voice in the style of the show (no Sondheim or Jason Robert Brown, please.) An accompanist will be provided, so please bring sheet music that is in your key, clearly prepared, indicating where you start and stop. No tracks or a cappella. Be prepared to dance. Sides for cold readings will be provided at the auditions/callbacks.
