Pot! The Musical Premieres at The Electric Lodge
Premiering April 2, 2010 is the new musical comedy Pot! The Musical, by Diane Shinozaki (book & lyrics) and Steven Huber (music & lyrics), who also acts as musical director.
Keith Wright directs and choreographs the cast of Pot! The Musical, which includes Dalit Berkowitz, Aryiel Hartman, Aaron Lyons, Ben Parks, Peter Schuyler, Mandi Smith, Kit Tyler and Clarke Wolfe.
Pot! The Musical is the story of a young girl named Sweetie and her journey as a non-pot smoker to discovering her life purpose as various dominating characters parade through her life on both sides of the spectrum. Whether you are for or against pot, it’s a musical comedy that uses laughter to bring to light the circus created by society’s ignorance and discrimination against one of nature’s most miraculous plants. The show’s theme centers around education, moderation and compassion.
The show previously received two workshop performances at The Complex in spring of 2009. This marks the world premiere of the show as a finished work. Performances will take place April 2 – May 2, 2010 at The Electric Lodge, 1416 Electric Avenue, Venice, CA 90291. Free on-site parking is available.
