 May 6-8 and 11-15
Schenectady Civic Players
The play explodes in two outrageous acts set fifty years apart. Act One takes place in 1959, as white community leaders anxiously try to stop the sale of a home to a black family. Act Two is set in the same house in the present day, as the now predominantly African-American neighborhood battles to hold its ground in the face of gentrification.

The Producers
|
 May 6-8 & 12-15
Schenectady Light Opera Company
A musical adapted from Mel Brooks' 1968 film of the same name. The story concerns two theatrical producers who scheme to get rich by overselling interests in a Broadway flop. Complications arise when the show unexpectedly turns out to be successful. In typical Mel Brooks style, the outrageous humor spares nobody and draws on ridiculous accents; caricatures of gays, neurotics, and Nazis; and many show business in-jokes.
