Security was similar to airport security — turn on your equipment, turn out your pockets, be scanned, wait in the safe area before you can go in.

The NoVa Woodbridge Theatre Group has done it again with their spring musical, Reefer Madness: The Musical! This challenging show is a parody of the 1938 anti-marijuana propaganda film.

Dr. Eric Trumbull, the professor of theater at NOVA, directed the show, assisted by Brittany Mignoli, who — like many other cast members — is applying the show toward the requirements of one or more of her classes.

A free performance will be held at Manassas campus as part of the Summer Evenings Under the Stars summer program there. This performance will be on June 25 at 7:30 p.m., at the Mary Louise Jackson Amphitheater.
