I’m pleased to announce that Midtown/Sheri Grace Productions is bringing back (by popular demand, no doubt) Reefer Madness: The Hit Musical to Charleston. After a very successful debut last winter, the local production company will feature three (3) weekend runs of the show. Ryan Ahlert will return as Director, and Robbi Kenney returns as Musical Director.
Did I mention that I’m playing guitar? Well I am! This fantastic band will also include alternating drummers Stuart White (Pulse Trio, JAC) & Adam Parrott (The Working Title, Cary Ann Hearst), respectively, as well as Charleston newcomer Ted Timper (The Working Title) on bass. Kenney will pull double-duty as pianist & violinist (*coughs* overachiever! *coughs*).
I wrote about the origins of Madness a few months back. Its journey from Church-funded PSA-to-propaganda-spoof-to-musical-theatre-piece intrigued me. Apparently, it intrigued Charlestonians enough to pack the house for two weekends @ Theatre 99 last winter.
This time around, Midtown/Sheri Grace Productions has secured The Village Playhouse, located in Mt. Pleasant, as its venue. Many of the original cast members will be returning for this production, and some new faces are eager to make an impression on what is sure to be a captivated audience. Don’t bogart the info! Spread the word!
Cast members will be appearing on Lowcountry Live Tuesday, June 30th @ 10am. Tune in to catch a preview of the Madness!
