Michigan's vibrant arts scene is renowned for its innovative productions, and this fall, the Planet Ant Theatre, Inc. is gifting us a brilliantly dark existential comedy: Grandma's Basement. Staged in the intimate setting of Ant Hall, this play delves deep into universal themes interlaced with a humorous twist on marijuana, making it a must-see for both theatre and cannabis enthusiasts.

About the Play

Penned and directed by the talented Abigail Jaske, Grandma's Basement is set in the not-so-distant past of 2008. The narrative unfolds in suburbia, focusing on Debbie, a dedicated "Honor's" English student. Following her first encounter with cannabis, Debbie embarks on an unexpected journey, plunging the audience into a hilarious yet contemplative world that blurs the lines between reality, the metaphysical, and the downright surreal.

The intriguing premise promises more than just a few laughs. As described by Jaske, the play aims to challenge its audience, tackling thought-provoking topics like life, death, existence, and, naturally, marijuana's impact on perception.

Catch the Final Shows!

If you're looking to catch this one-of-a-kind comedy, you're in luck, but you'll need to act quickly! The only showtimes left are:

  • October 6th (Friday): 7:00 PM EDT
  • October 7th (Saturday): 7:00 PM EDT

Venue Details

  • Location: Ant Hall, 2320 Caniff Street, Hamtramck, MI 48212
  • Price: Tickets are priced at $20 in advance or $25 at the door.

Grandma's Basement is not just another play; it's an experience. While most of us have, at some point, contemplated our existence, few have done so with such a unique blend of wit and whimsy. This show offers a fresh, irreverent take on age-old questions, with marijuana as its muse.

For the Michigan cannabis community, it represents another example of the cultural integration and normalization of marijuana. As it continues to weave its way into various aspects of our lives, events like these remind us of its multifaceted impact – sometimes profound, sometimes hilarious, but always intriguing.

Tickets are selling out fast, so ensure you grab yours and dive into the comedic abyss of Grandma's Basement. With its engaging storyline and timely themes, this is one production that's bound to leave an impression long after the curtains close.
