OEHS Presenting 'The Producers'

The following was provided by Sharon Brewer.

It’s springtime in Oswego!

Come see the Drama Department’s production of Mel Brook’s The Producers. This musical features Mike Doucette as accountant wanna-be Broadway producer, Leo Bloom and Mike Tito as get-rich-quick schemer, down-on-his-luck Broadway producer, Max Bialystock.

Max and Leo “and Leo and Max” come to realize after perusing Max’s financials that they can make more money from a flop than from a smash hit. They seek out the worst possible Broadway show they can find, “Springtime for Hitler” which is written by Franz Liebkind played by Filip Bojanic and then hit up single, wealthy, little, old ladies to fund the production hoping to close after the first show and pocket all the money.

The cast also “flaunts” Lauren Collins who has “got it” as Ulla,  “secretary slash receptionist” for Max and Leo. Brian Parker plays the role of Roger De Bris the flamboyant director who does a fine job keeping it gay! The shows includes dancers and singers in “Opening Night,” “I Wanna be a Producer” and “Along Came Bialy” to name a few.

The cast and crew and pit orchestra have been rehearsing and working hard since end of January! So, “stop the world …[  ] (and) get on” as you enjoy being entertained seeing the worst Broadway show ever. “And it’s bad luck to say good luck on opening night, by the way.” GOOD LUCK and you will find out just where they went right!!

Showtimes are: April 26^th 6 p.m., April 27^th 7 p.m. and April 28^th  2 p.m. and 7 p.m. Go to www.oepac.org to order and ensure tickets and save or pay at the door.
