The show, based on Brooks’ film of the same title, centers on two theatrical impresarios who attempt to bilk backers out of their investments by overselling a flop. Their game is foiled when their hoped for flop, “Springtime for Hitler,” becomes a smash hit.
Civic Music is advising its subscribers the show may be inappropriate for children age 10 and younger.
Doors open at 6:45 p.m., with seating at 7 p.m. Curtain is 7:30 p.m.

The 2007-08 season will conclude Tuesday, May 6 with “Simply Sinatra,” featuring Steve Lippia and his big band. That program will be offered as a bonus to new subscribers. The eight attractions on the 2008-09 season will be announced in early April.
