We at Equinox are so excited to announce the auditions for a very special Denver premier musical: Reefer Madness. This show pushes the limits for musicals, and will be a fun challenge for our growing company. Already we have had a great early response for audition sign-up, and we expect this musical to draw many new talents and audiences to our Equinox family.
            The show pokes fun at the use of government scare tactics by satirizing the original 1936 film of the same name. The idea that a substance can instantly transform a wholesome teen into a bloodthirsty, vicious zombie in one indulgence is absurd, and capitalizing on the ignorance of a nation about that substance was just as absurd an attack by the filmmakers. This musical challenges audiences to THINK FOR THEMSELVES, which, as Americans, we do so little nowadays. So, by doing this musical, we hope not to advocate any stance on the marijuana debate, but rather, encourage everyone to enjoy a laugh at the idea that anyone can be so easily corralled by the media.
            Our auditions are scheduled for May 11th and 12th, at the Bug theatre, and interested artists should schedule an appointment to audition on our site, or send a message of interest for design or to help with the show in any capacity. Our mission continues with this production, by inviting artists of all sorts to challenge themselves and our audiences with this bold piece. Come and join us for something out of the ordinary. To follow the fold would be... Madness.
