Plot Synopsis

UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE, ACTORS WILL BE WEARING MASKS ON STAGE DURING PERFORMANCES. THANK YOU FOR YOUR UNDERSTANDING. WE ARE JUST GLAD TO BE BACK LIVE! AUDIENCE MEMBERS NEED TO SHOW THEIR COVID VACCINATION CARD (OR A PHOTO OF THE CARD) OR A NEGATIVE TEST WITHIN 72 HOURS AND WEAR MASKS.

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 (the gloriously offensive "Springtime for Hitler"), hiring a director, raising the money and finally going to prison for their misdeeds is a lesson in broad comic construction. At the core of the insanely funny adventure is a poignant emotional journey of two very different men who become friends.

DMTC follows all COVID protocols. Recommended for theatergoers aged 13 & up due to adult humor
