*Opening this Weekend-* *Mel Brooks’ hilarious musical comedy The Producers* *heats up the stage at The Cassidy Theatre this summer* *Performance Dates: *June 12th- 28th *Performance Times:* Fridays and Saturdays at 8:00 pm, Sundays at 3:00 pm. Tickets: $20 Adults, $15 Students and Seniors A down-on-his-luck Broadway producer and his mild-mannered accountant come up with a scheme to produce the most notorious flop in history thereby bilking their backers (all "little old ladies") out of millions of dollars. Only one thing goes awry: the show is a smash hit! The show follows the antics of Max Bialystock and Leo Bloom as they maneuver their way fecklessly through finding a show (the gloriously offensive "Springtime for Hitler"), hiring a director, raising the money and the consequences of their actions. At the core of this insanely funny adventure is a poignant emotional journey of two very different men who become friends. *The Producers *features direction and choreography by Kristin Netzband and musical direction by Mike Caraffi. This star studded cast includes Steve Brown, David Turner, Rachel Anderson, Will Crosby, Brian Altman, and Joel Fenstermaker. The ensemble includes Tony Heffner, Michael Knobloch, Mason Zielinski, Jordan Fleming, Daryl Kelly, Nick Alder, Arden Anastasi, Kristina Barrett, Nikki Locker, Melanie Leibold, Jena Gross, and Alison Kamis.
