As Burien Little Theatre turns 30, it's time to warn the kids about the dangers of dope with the comic cautionary musical "Reefer Madness," opening Sept. 24.

Inspired by the original 1936 film of the same name, the opening show of Burien Little Theatre's 2010-11 season is written by Kevin Murphy and Dan Studney. This raucous musical 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.

The addictive and clever musical numbers range from big Broadway-style showstoppers to swing tunes like "Down at the Ol' Five and Dime" and the Vegas-style "Listen to Jesus, Jimmy," featuring J.C. Himself leading a chorus of showgirl angels.

"Reefer Madness" is a highly stylized and satirical political commentary. The book is by Kevin Murphy and Dan Studney, music by Dan Studney and lyrics by Kevin Murphy.

The musical contains adult humor, religious parody, and drug use, as well as suggested violence, blood and sexual explicitness. Suitable for ages 16 and older.

It will run at Burien Little Theatre from Sept. 24 through Oct. 31. Tickets are $15-$20 online and, $17-$20 at the box office, with all tickets just $7 on Seven Buck Sunday, Sept. 26.

The theater is located at the Burien Community Center Annex, 425 S.W. 144th St.

On "Parents' Night Out," Oct. 1 parents can leave their children to be entertained for the evening at Jungle Gym in Burien for just $25 per child. Contact Jungle Gym at 206-248-3547.
