Theater is plentiful in the region this week with three plays being staged.

The Haddonfield Plays and Players continue their production of The Producers through Aug 10.

"Winner of 12 Tony Awards, this Mel Brooks masterpiece follows Max Bialystock, a once great Broadway Producer, as he enlists his humble accountant, Leo Bloom, in a financial scheme to try and produce the biggest flop the Great White Way has ever seen," according to the theater's website.

The Mainstage Center for the Arts will stage a rendition of Disney's The Little Mermaid Jr. at the Dennis Flyer Theatre on the Blackwood campus of Camden County College starting on Wednesday.

Based on the 1987 Disney film and adapted from the 2008 Broadway production, The Little Mermaid Jr. features hit songs “Part of Your World,” “Kiss the Girl,” and the Oscar-winning “Under the Sea,” the theater company says. Click here for more information on show times and tickets.

If you have an appetite for even more theater, try the Levoy Theater's production of Fiddler on the Roof. 

"This rousing musical, based on the stories of Shalom Aleichem, takes place in pre-revolutionary Russia and centers on the life of Tevye, a milkman who is trying to keep his family’s traditions in place while marrying off his three older daughters," Levoy says. "Yet, times are changing and the daughters want to make their own matches, breaking free of many of the constricting customs required of them by Judaism. In the background of these events, Russia is on the brink of revolution and Jews are feeling increasingly unwelcome in their villages. Tevye–who expresses his desire for sameness in the opening number, “Tradition,”is trying to keep everyone, and everything, together."
