Reefer Madness is a musical satire of the 1936 cult classic film whose plot revolves around the melodramatic events that ensue when high school students are lured by pushers to try marijuana; from a hit and run accident, to manslaughter, suicide, attempted rape, and a descent into madness all due to marijuana addiction.
Extension-Korda chose this hilariously campy show because it fit perfectly in the midst of Canada’s recent marijuana legalization - what better way to celebrate the legalization than with a 1930s musical propaganda!
Extension-Korda is a youth program through Korda Artistic Productions that allows young adults take on production roles such as directing, producing, choreographing, and music directing, with a cast of all ages!
