July 19 – August 10, 2024
FOOLS
by Neil Simon
Directed by Jeremy Palmer
Produced by Catherine Rahm
FOOLS is the comic tale of Leon Tolchinsky, an enthusiastic young schoolteacher who arrives in the idyllic Ukrainian village of Kulyenchikov to find the townspeople sweeping dust from the stoops back into their houses and milking upside-down cows to get more cream. Hired to educate Sophia Zubritsky, the daughter of the town doctor, Leon falls in love with her at first sight, even though she just recently learned to sit down. Her father, Dr. Zubritsky, is hopeful that this teacher will be the one to break the curse of chronic stupidity from which the town has been suffering for 200 years.
FOOLS is presented by special arrangement with Samuel French, Inc., a Concord Theatricals Company.

The Producers
by Mel Brooks & Thomas Meehan
Directed by Susan Weisbarth
Produced by Gail Bernardi and Kim Peterson and Margaret Harrington
Winner of 12 Tony Awards, THE PRODUCERS opened on Broadway in 2001 and ran for six years, starring Nathan Lane and Matthew Brodrick. Written by comedy legend Mel Brooks, the show tells the story of Max Bialystock, a has been Broadway impresario, and Leo Bloom, a nervous accountant who dreams of becoming a producer. Together they scheme to make money by creating a Broadway show that is sure to flop so they can bilk dozens of little old lady investors out of millions of dollars, leaving Bialystock and Bloom free to retire in Rio. But the plot goes awry when the show they choose, Springtime for Hitler, becomes a huge Broadway hit. With music and lyrics written by the incredible Mel Brooks and book and lyrics by Thomas Meehan, this hysterically funny show will leave you laughing out loud!
THE PRODUCERS is presented through special arrangement with Music Theatre International (MTI)
