Reefer Madness! Auditions
Los Alamos Little Theatre would like to invite you to audition for their upcoming musical, Reefer Madness! Please come prepared with 16 measures of a song of your choice with corresponding sheet music. You will be asked to learn a short piece of choreography and will read excerpts from the script.
Audition forms may be filled out in advance.
Synopsis
There is a new menace sweeping the nation, ready to ensnare and seduce the youth and drag them down into a life of sin: REEFER MADNESS! In this hilarious, over-the-top satire, the high school drama club, led by the gravely stern Lecturer, illustrates the perils of the “leafy green assassin.” They tell the story of Jimmy, a fine, upstanding, All-American boy whose life fell apart because of the evil reefer. Jimmy was a good kid, with a bright future ahead of him. He had a sweetheart whom he loved, the wholesome and sweet Mary Lane. But when Jimmy is tricked into taking his first puff of reefer, his life quickly spirals downward. He begins to neglect his family, his schoolwork, even Mary, in order to spend all his time smoking at the Reefer Den. His addiction leads him to debauchery, sin, theft, and, eventually, murder. Reefer Madness is an irreverent parody of the classic 1930s instructional film full of camp, hilarity, mayhem, and madness.

— An Unusual Bird written by Vicki Meagher and directed by Jazmine Torres
— Alphabet Soup written by John Gustafson and directed by Terry Beery
— Aliens written by Stephanie Karr and Mark Watts and directed by Fred Berl
