<p align="justify"><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"
size="2">CVLT presents the area's first community theater production
of Mel Brooks' <i>The Producers</i>, the hilarious musical about
washed-up theater producer Max Bialystock and his mild-mannered
accountant Leo Bloom, who hatch a plan to get rich quick by producing
the most notorious flop in the history of Broadway!</font></p>
<p align="justify"><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"
size="2"> Based on Mel Brooks' hit 1968 film of the same name, <i>The
Producers</i> won a record-breaking 12 Tony Awards in 2001, including
Best Musical. It's chock-full of the same broad, goofball humor that
made Mel's films like <i>Blazing Saddles</i>, <i>Spaceballs</i>, and <i>Young
Frankenstein</i> comedy classics. Don't miss it! </font></p>
