Sierra School of Performing Arts: The Producers
Friday & Saturday, August 8th & 9th
Thursday - Sunday August 14th - 17th
Friday & Saturday, August 22nd & 23rd
All Shows Start at 7:30pm
How do you create a flop on Broadway?
If you’re Mel Brooks, you start with a scheming con man (Max Bialystock), add in a mousy accountant (Leo Bloom), then introduce them to a pigeon-loving Nazi and his script for a gloriously offensive musical, “Springtime for Hitler," and finally, sprinkle in an eager blonde bombshell! It’s a recipe for failure. But in this laugh-out-loud comedy, unexpected success throws Max and Leo into a downward spiral, with unexpected consequences. Crazy caricatures and camp spectacle come together to produce a wonderfully tasteless evening of entertainment. The in-your-face humor includes high-kicking stormtroopers, a flock of pigeons, hand puppets, and little old ladies dancing with walkers. It’s sure to be a flop! We mean, hit!
Beware: this show is not for the weak of heart, (or for youth under 16; discretion advised).
