| | Reefer Madness
Book by Kevin Murphy & Dan Studney
Music by Dan Studney Lyrics by Ken Murphy
Directed by Quinn Kelly with Music Direction by Kait Wilson
Inspired by the cult‑classic 1936 propaganda film, Reefer Madness is a wild, tongue‑in‑cheek musical comedy that dives headfirst into the chaos sparked when wholesome teens are lured into the world of marijuana. What follows is an over‑the‑top spiral of jazz, temptation, and danger; all played for outrageous, satirical fun.
Get ready for a night of irresistible camp and high‑energy spectacle. The show’s addictive score jumps from full Broadway blowouts to swing‑era charm, including crowd‑pleasers like “Down at the Ol’ Five and Dime” and the Vegas‑style showstopper “Listen to Jesus, Jimmy” complete with a heavenly chorus line.
Bold, stylized, and wickedly funny, Reefer Madness delivers sharp political satire wrapped in pure musical mayhem, it's a trip that you’ll want to take again.
September 10-13 & 17-20, 2026 in the Black Box
Thursdays 7pm - Fridays & Saturdays 8pm - Sundays 2pm
Content Notice: Strong drug themes, exaggerated violence, sexual situations, implied nudity, and mild to moderate profanity. These themes are presented in a highly stylized, spoof-like manner rather than being entirely realistic.

| | Clybourne Park
by Bruce Norris
Directed by Alan Greenberg for the Black Box
A razor‑sharp, darkly funny look at who gets to belong in a neighborhood. Clybourne Park traces one Chicago home across two eras; first in 1959, when white residents scramble to block a Black family from moving in, and then fifty years later, when the now Black community pushes back against encroaching gentrification. The same house, the same battles, and a biting examination of how much—and how little—has changed.

While Guido heavily depends on the women surrounding him in all aspects of his life and career, he finds his perception of and relationships with these women irrevocably changing as they assert themselves and hold him accountable for his actions and broken promises. Forced to confront his past and his present, Guido begins to realize that he must either change or risk being left behind.

Directed by Amy Rickett for the Black Box
The things we hide, and the truths that refuse to stay buried. The brilliance of Tennessee Williams, a classic American playwright whose work remains urgent and resonant takes the stage in this presentation of two short plays. Known for his recurring themes of repression, truth, and the corrosive effects of silence Suddenly Last Summer, and Something Unspoken take place in two distinct worlds—one simmering with explosive revelation, the other with genteel denial. Williams’ enduring artistry reveals how profoundly his themes continue to speak to us today.
