Mr. Cardboard

On his loneliest birthday yet, rotten little Huxley is whisked away by the timeless Mr. Cardboard! This disturbingly delightful, unhinged Pixar film folds the grotesque into the beautiful. It warms the heart and rips it along its perforated edge. Take his hand and Think Cardboard Thoughts!
Miles and Levi are two award-winning Philippe Gaulier trained clowns and theatre makers from opposite sides of the world who share a love for the absurdly humorous and unexpectedly affecting.
“Offers some of the best executed strangeness you will see this fringe.” ★★★★★ (The Student)

Hippies and Cowboys
With Support from Faųx Façade
Hippies And Cowboys are a rock ’n soul band, originating in Nashville TN. Bringing back a taste of southern rock, blues, and soul, it’s a sound that has defied the test of time. Inspiration comes from the likes of Sam and Dave, The Blues Brothers, Booker T & The MG’s, Otis Redding, and Marvin Gaye, to Aerosmith, Lynyrd Skynyrd, The Eagles, The Beatles, Tom Petty, The Rolling Stones and CCR.
Early tracks were recorded in the iconic studios of Muscle Shoals, Alabama: Fame, East Avalon, and Noise Block. This music was captured on the album Live At Fox & Locke, and released on vinyl in October 2023.
The band huddled up at Purple House studio in Lieper’s Fork TN, later that same year. From those sessions sprang their first studio release, an EP of six songs called Fork In The Road, delivered to the world on vinyl, CD, & digital late 2024. Watch the tour calendar for dates that will take the band into clubs and major festivals across the US and Europe throughout 2025.
The Hippies & Cowboys are:
Aaron Sparling: lead vocals, rhythm guitar
Scott Metko: drums
Victor Arruda: lead guitar
Kevin Riley Corbo: bass guitar
Connor Lafollotte: keys

Reefer Madness
2025-08-14 19:00 - 21:00, 2025-08-15 19:00 - 21:00
Reefer Madness

Inspired by the 1936 anti-marijuana propaganda film, Reefer Madness is an over-the-top, campy musical comedy that follows the tragic downfall of young Jimmy Harper after one puff of the “devil’s lettuce.” With swingin’ tunes, high-energy dance numbers, and a satirical take on moral panic, this cult-classic musical is a hilarious, fast-paced ride through the absurd hysteria of the 1930s.
Presented by the newly revived Moonstruck Theater Company, this production brings a fresh and irreverent take to the stage, packed with dynamic performances, sharp comedy, and just a touch of madness. Don’t miss this uproarious and delightfully unhinged night of musical theater!
About Moonstruck Theater Company
Moonstruck Theater Company is a Greater Boston-based, volunteer-run nonprofit dedicated to producing bold, imaginative, and engaging theater. Known for its quirky, high-energy productions, Moonstruck is making its grand return after an eight-year hiatus—starting with this electric, jazz-infused musical.
REEFER MADNESS is presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals. www.concordtheatricals.com
