The Truckee Meadows Community College Theatre Department presents its production of the Broadway musical based on Mel Brooks' 1968 comedy. The musical centers on a down-on-his-luck producer and his timid accountant who concoct a get-rich scheme by producing a Broadway flop. They hire the worst director and the worst actors to star in the production and find a script that’s sure to offend, called Springtime for Hitler. What could possibly go wrong? Find out this weekend when The Producers opens on Friday, April 3, at TMCC Redfield Performing Arts Center, 505 Keystone Ave. Performances begin at 7:30 p.m. on Friday and Saturday through April 18 and on Thursday, April 16.
