Lower Ossington Theatre is casting all roles in our upcoming production of “The Producers.”
The Tony-winning musical based on the Oscar-winning movie! An explosion of pure comedic lunacy from the twisted mind of Mel Brooks!
Down-on-his-luck producer Max Bialystock, once the toast of Broadway, trades sexual favors with old ladies for cash contributions. Max's new accountant, Leo Bloom, offhandedly muses that if Max found investors for a new production that turned into a flop, he could legally keep the extra money.
The duo set out to put together the worst show possible, titled "Springtime for Hitler", with a terrible director and a terrible star.
Directed by: Cory Doran
Choreographed by: Kiri-Lyn Muir
Musical Direction by: Aaron Erye

Ulla Inga Hansen Benson Yonsen Tallen-hallen Svaden-svanson
A young and hopeful actress. Though her beauty might eclipse her talent, Ulla is passionate about life and art. Quite a clueless seductress in some ways.

Franz Liebkind
German loyalist playwright. From his lederhosen to his pigeon, Adolph, his love for the motherland is unmistakable. He is imposing yet tender.

Roger Debris' faithful assistant. Carmen is severe in looks and passion for Roger. He may appear younger than he actually is thanks to skilled surgeons.
