“Sometimes I think the longer people are together the less they know each other…” From the 
author of our previously acclaimed productions of Unidentified Human Remains and the True 
Nature of Love and Poor Super Man TLH is pleased to present Brad Fraser’s new stunning, dark 
and dangerous comedy – True Love Lies. From the opening moments of TLL to its closing lines, 
this witty, fast-paced explicit comedy about a nuclear family is funny, entertaining and a touching 
expose' of their lives and long held secrets. A typical family – with all the trials and tribulations of 
living with teenage children – find that a male lover from the father’s past makes them all realize that life 
is not what it seems. Their fashionable lifestyle starts to fall around their ears, as we look on, 
wondering what can possibly go wrong next!  The play continues  with the character of David 
who was first introduced in Unidentified Human Remains and the True Nature of Love and later in 
Poor Super Man.  
 The show was first produced in January 2009 at The Royal Exchange in Manchester , England to 
critical and audience acclaim. Theater LaB Houston will be the second company in the US to 
produce True Love Lies.

Reefer Madness: The Musical
Book by Kevin Murphy & Dan Studney
Lyrics by Kevin Murphy      Music by Dan Studney
Houston Premiere

Inspired by the original 1936 film of the same name, this raucous musical comedy 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.  You won't be able to resist
the spoofy fun of Reefer Madness.  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.  This 
dynamic show will go straight to your head!  Reefer Madness is a highly stylized and satirical 
political commentary.

"The funniest thing to come down the pike -- or the pipe -- in a while."    Backstage

"The musical stage version of REEFER MADNESS! Really deserves to be a phenomenon unto itself.  You don't even have to inhale to enjoy it."     After Dark
