THE PLAYERS 2017-18 SEASON!
The Concord Players are very pleased
and excited to announce our 2017-2018 season! In the Fall of 2017, we
will present Michael Frayn's madcap comedy hit about the follies and
foibles of theatre folk, Noises Off, to be directed by Brian Kelly!
Our 2018 Winter show will be the Kaufman and Hart comedy classic You Can't Take It With You, with Kathy Lague making her directorial debut on the Concord Players' stage!
And finally, we are thrilled to be
offering in the Spring of 2018 what may be the area premiere of the
musical version of The Hunchback of Notre
 Dame,
with music by Alan Menken, lyrics by Stephen Schwartz, and book by
Peter Parnell. This powerful production will be crafted under the
capable direction of Nancy Curran Willis.
Watch our webpage for
further developments--and please join us! In addition to our
actors and staff, we are always seeking volunteers to be involved in all
facets of our productions!

OPENING APRIL 28!
Mel Brooks' hilarious musical, The Producers.
They got the wrong play, the wrong
director, the wrong cast. Where did they go right? Max Bialystock, a
smarmy Broadway producer, and Leo Bloom, his mild-mannered accountant,
have come up with a sure-fire scheme to make millions! First, sweet talk
some little old ladies into giving them their life's savings. Then find
the script for the most notorious flop in history, which will close
after the first performance. With musical numbers like "Der Guten Tag
Hop-Clop," "Keep it Gay," and the show's title song, "Springtime for
Hitler," how could it go right? But somehow it does; the show's a smash
hit! Don't miss one of Mel Brooks' best! The show runs April 28th
through May 13th. Tickets are available here. Due to mature themes, the show is not recommended for pigeons (or children) under 13.
