(We used to be known by a different name, as detailed below, but to avoid confusion and the need for repeated, silly explanations, have changed it.)

Pat’s Corner - Sophie Tucker

May 6, 7, 8, 9,10 at 8 PM, Sunday May 11 at 2 PM

Born to a Jewish family in Tsarist Russia, this singer-comedian was one of the most popular American entertainers during the first third of the 20th century. Billed as The Last of the Red Hot Mamas, Sophie Tucker made numerous popular film appearances, including Broadway Melody of 1938 and played piano and sang burlesque and vaudeville tunes. Her comic style is credited with influencing later female entertainers, including Mae West, Joan Rivers, Roseanne Barr, and most notably Bette Midler who has included “Soph” as one of her many stage characters.

Playing Sophie Tucker will be Meredith Reed from Greenville, SC.

The Producers The Mel Brooks Musical
April 23 - May 25, 2008

Bialystock and Bloom! Those names should strike terror and hysteria in anyone familiar with Mel Brooks’ classic cult comedy film. Now as a big Broadway musical, The Producers sets the standard for modern, outrageous humor. The Arts Center will present the regional premiere of this truly “boffo” hit, which won twelve Tony Awards – the most in Broadway history! The plot is simple: a down-on-his-luck Broadway producer and his mild-mannered accountant come up with a scheme to produce the most notorious flop in history thereby bilking their backers (all “little old ladies”) out of millions of dollars. Only one thing goes awry: the show is a smash hit! The antics of Max Bialystock and Leo Bloom, as they maneuver their way fecklessly through finding a show, hiring a director, raising the money and finally going to prison for their misdeeds, is a lesson in laughter.
