Narrated by a pompous Lecturer\, the show follows all-American teenager Jimmy Harper as he’s lured into a reefer den and his wholesome life spirals into deception\, obsession\, and madness. Outrageous and over-the-top. It’s 1930s camp\, gangster movies\, and musical theater madness colliding with sharp wit and a killer score. \nCASTING THE FOLLOWING ROLES:\nAll roles are open. Long Beach Playhouse encourages actors of all backgrounds\, gender identities\, and abilities to audition. \nNOTE:  REEFER MADNESS is a hilarious\, over-the-top adult musical comedy like the Rocky Horror Show that contains simulated drug use\, and comedic\, simulated orgy-like scenes as well as simulated sexual scenes.  Please read the script before auditioning to make sure you are comfortable doing a show like this.  Due to the adult nature of the show\, no one under the age of 18 will be cast. \nJIMMY HARPER (M\, Tenor\, 18-24): A wholesome\, innocent student who runs into trouble after he’s lured into the dangerous world of reefer.

Intimacy requirements – kisses JIMMY multiple times; has simulated dominatrix/BDSM sexual moments with RALPH.) \nTHE LECTURER (Any\, Baritone\, 35-55): A pompous authority figure who frames the action as a cautionary tale. Dry comic presence. Must own the stage. Must sing. (Plays multiple different roles in the show.  Role as GOAT MAN/SATYR in Bacchanal requires being seen bare-chested in a skimpy satyr costume.) \nJACK STONE (M\, Bass/Baritone\, 25-40): The villain. Handsome\, slick\, charismatic drug pusher. A 1930s gangster movie-type. Strong comic actor; must sing.

SUMMARY:HANGMEN
DESCRIPTION:HANGMEN\nPlaying in the Long Beach Playhouse’s Studio Theater\nAug. 29 – Sept. 26\, 2026\nBy Martin McDonagh\nDirected by Carl DaSilva\nIn his small pub in Oldham\, Harry is something of a local celebrity. But what’s the second-best hangman in England to do on the day they’ve abolished hanging? Amongst the cub reporters and sycophantic pub regulars dying to hear Harry’s reaction to the news\, a peculiar stranger lurks\, with a very different motive for his visit. Martin McDonagh does it again in HANGMEN\, a corrosively funny black comedy filled with dramatic tension in a juicy tale of capital punishment that will leave you “hanging” on the edge of your seat with suspense and devilish delight. \n  \n \nA Big THANK YOU to the Port of Long Beach for Sponsoring the 2026 Studio Season! \nPURCHASE YOUR TICKETS HERE:\nCHOOSE YOUR DATE:\n\nFriday\, August 28\, 8pm – Preview\nSaturday\, August 29\, 8pm – Opening Night and Champagne Gala\nFriday\, September 4\, 8pm\nSaturday\, September 5\, 8pm\nSunday\, September 6\, 2pm\nFriday\, September 11\, 8pm\nSaturday\, September 12\, 8pm\nSunday\, September 13\, 2pm\nFriday\, September 18\, 8pm\nSaturday\, September 19\, 8pm\nSunday\, September 20\, 2pm\nFriday\, September 25\, 8pm\nSaturday\, September 26\, 8pm – Closing Night\n\nAGE LIMIT\nAs a courtesy to our patrons\, it is the policy of the theatre not to admit children under the age of 5.
