Performing improv comedy is like walking a tightrope without a net -- and the audience doesn't tell you what rope to use until the last minute. In "Cast of One", a single comedian will stand up on stage at Seattle's Atlas Theatre, all alone, and wait for you to name a book, play or film. That comedian will then perform the entire work, acting out all the characters, right before your eyes. You might say it's the bravest act a comedian could attempt, and you might be right. [less-]

Mel Brooks' outrageous, Tony-winning musical comedy "The Producers" tells the story of broke Broadway producer Max Bialystock and his accountant, Leo Bloom. Desperate for cash, these two schemers hatch a plan to produce a musical that's sure to be a failure so they can cut and run with the unspent production money. But when their "big flop" turns out to be a huge hit, they're in trouble. Based on the classic 1968 film, and featuring the hilariously tasteless show-within-a-show "Springtime for Hitler", "The Producers" skewers the over-the-top absurdities of musical theater while delivering a heartfelt tale of the true friendship that develops between two would-be con artists.
