Theater Nerds Shockingly Smoke Weed

A Penn State professor and his wife were arrested recently for growing marijuana in their basement.

Police found the small batch of marijuana plans while responding to a burgular alarm in the house. (NB to future pot growers: I know you want to keep your place secure, but it’s probably best to avoid alarms, which can attract police officers, marijuana’s natural enemy.) No word if the Steven Haver’s keeping his job as theater director at PSU’s York campus, but his wife Karen has been fired from her position as director of the Sovereign Performing Arts Center. Here’s why:

“We’re held to a very high standard,” said Robert Cavalieri, the center’s general manager. “We are a very public business.”

I know, really. I mean, who ever heard of someone in the arts using drugs?
