Auditions for the JCC Uncommoners’ fall musical production, The Producers, will be held June 22 and 23, beginning at 7 p.m., in Scharmann Theatre on JCC's Jamestown Campus.

Information on the auditions can be obtained by calling JCC theatre director Robert Schlick, 716.338.1153.

“The JCC Uncommoners are privileged to be the first company in the area to present the show,” said Schlick. “One reviewer called The Producers `the funniest show on the planet!’”

The Producers is the story of Max Bialystock and Leo Bloom, men who sing and dance their way through the greatest show biz scam there ever was. In the story, they discover that through creative accounting, they can make more money with a flop than with a hit. They produce a show called “Springtime for Hitler,” figuring that when it flops, they will use the extra money raised to finance their own trip to Rio.

The show requires a large cast of characters, including tap-dancing chorus girls, accountants, little old ladies, and storm troopers, as well as several other supporting roles: Franz Liebkind, Roger Debris, Carmen Ghia, Mr. Marks, and a female with an incredibly long first name: Ulla Inga Hansen Benson Yonsen Tallen-Hallen Svaden-Svanson.

Auditioners will do cold reading from the script and should come prepared to sing a song from memory. An accompanist will be provided. All auditioners will be taught a short dance routine to perform. Loose-fitting clothing is recommended. A copy of the script is on reserve at the front desk of Hultquist Library at JCC.

Rehearsals begin September 1 and will be held from 7 to 10 p.m. Monday through Friday. Performances will run on selected dates November 6-21.

People who can do set construction, create costumes, find props, do makeup, and help backstage during the run of the show should call JCC’s theatre technical director Steve Gustafson, 716.338.1166.
