WHAT: CPCC Summer Theatre will wrap up its 2009 Patron’s Choice Season with the Tony award-winning musical “The Producers.”
Written by Mel Brooks, “The Producers” follows two theatrical producers, Max and Leo, who scheme to get rich by overselling shares in a Broadway flop. Complications arise for the two characters when the show unexpectedly turns out to be a success.
The humor of the show is accessible to a wide range of audiences, and draws on ridiculous accents, caricatures of Nazis and many inside jokes about show business.
