Reefer Madness
NJ, United StatesReefer Madness is a musical satire of the 1936 propaganda film and cult classic Reefer Madness that opened in Los Angeles in 1998. The book and lyrics were written by Kevin Murphy and the book and music by Dan Studney. This raucous musical comedy takes a tongue-in-cheek look at the hysteria caused when clean-cut kids fall prey to marijuana, leading them on a hysterical downward spiral filled with evil jazz music, sex, and violence. **THURSDAY, April 20th ONLY - Special Talkback after the show with Writer/Composer, Dan Studney, and the Original Jimmy Harper from LA/Off Broadway/Movie, Christian Campbell**

Brook Orchestra presents Rossini, Suk, and Dvorak
NJ, United StatesJoin us for the beautiful sounds of Rossini, Suk, and Dvo?ák played by our very own Brook Orchestra under the Direction of Thomas Vacca. This powerful set will invoke your senses of wonder and awe. Rossini's Overture for William Tell was designed to present the day in the life of a Switzerland in revolt. As the piece accelerates it introduces a determined galloping energy. Suk's Scherzo Fantastique is a relatively short piece that plays many jokes on the listener by misleading the expectations of the form. Dvo?ák's Symphony No. 9 in E minor is nicknamed "from the New World" because Dvorak wrote it during the time he spent in the U.S. in the 1890's. It has been said that Dvo?ák was inspired by the "wide open spaces" of America.
