FHCT Extends THE PRODUCERS Through 2/6

Fountain Hills Community Theater's production of the funniest, most honored musical in the history of Broadway, The Producers, is being extended an additional weekend. Outrageous, hilarious, unexpected, a wee bit naughty and a sure-fire hit! Debuting on Broadway in 2001, this Mel Brooks musical quickly racked up a record-breaking 12 Tony Awards including Best Musical. The Producers follows the adventures and misadventures of Max Bialystock, a washed up Broadway producer and Leo Bloom, a timid accountant with dreams of becoming a producer. Together they set out to produce a full-fledged flop - and fleece their investors in the process - but unwittingly wind up with a hit on their hands. These two schemers will sing and dance their way through the greatest show biz scam there ever was!          
                                 
The Producers is populated with colorful characters and enlivened with witty songs filled with sly cultural references. It also relies heavily on crass and obvious stereotypes meant to offend all equally, with mincing gays, sex-object women, greedy Jews, bubble-headed Swedes, over-sexed old ladies, gruff Irish cops, and kick lines of singing Nazis.  Audiences should be aware that The Producers contains some adult language and situations.  The 2005 motion picture was Rated PG-13 for sexual humor and references.

The Producers will play Jan 14 - Feb. 6, 2011.  Performances are Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays at 8PM and Sundays at 2PM.   Individual tickets are $25.00 for Adults and $20.00 for children 17 and under. Seniors receive a $5.00 discount on all Thursday performances. Group rates and student rush discounts are available. A "Pay What You Can" matinee performance will be held Saturday, Jan. 22nd at 2PM. Ticket price for this performance is on a donation-basis only. You cannot be guaranteed seating unless you call and make a reservation for this performance.
 
All performances are at Fountain Hills Community Theater on its Mainstage at 11445 N. Saguaro Blvd. (The Corner of Saguaro and Rand). Tickets are available through the Theater Box Office at (480) 837-9661 x3.  Box Office Hours are 10:00 AM-5:00 PM Tuesday through Saturday. Visit our website at www.fhct.org.
