APTOS — “The Producers,” a musical comedy based on Mel Brooks’ award-winning 1967 film, will be opening at Cabrillo College’s Crocker Theater on July 26 as part of Cabrillo Stage’s Summer Musi-cal Festival.
The story follows Max Bi-alystock, once a successful Broadway producer who suffers a series of flopped shows. Bialy-stock teams up with nervous ac-countant Leopold “Leo” Bloom, and the two plan to scam their way through producing a hor-rible musical while making off with millions of dollars in investments.
Their scheme, unsurprisingly, does not go as planned.
Chris Reber, who stars as Bialystock, described what it’s been like portraying such a distinctive, demanding role.
“Max is constantly figuring out what everyone wants, so he can get what he wants,” Reber said. “It’s a mad dash ev-ery time he’s on stage. He just goes for it! So yeah, it’s been fun but extremely physical. It can be tiring.”
Cabrillo Stage’s version of “The Producers” is di -rected and choreographed by Lee Ann Payne, who Reber praised for her vision — espe-cially during the show’s most well-known musical number, “Springtime for Hitler.”
“It’s a feast for the eyes,” Reber laughed. “And Walter [Mayes], who stars in that scene — he does an amazing job. It’s so darn funny.”
Reber co-stars with Gary Schoenfeld as Leopold “Leo” Bloom, Jordan Pierini as Franz Leibkind, David Mister as Car-men Ghia, Jessica Whittemore as Ula and Mayes as Roger de
Bris. Supporting them is a large ensemble cast of 17, many of whom play multiple characters.
One of these actors, Parise Zeleny of Watsonville, described what it was like being part of the ensemble.
“One second I’m a tumbling newsie, the next, a feeble old lady,” Zeleny said, “and the next [I’m] a tap dancing soldier. I love the challenge of each unique role.”

Dogs, a screaming Halpert, supercomputers and a mini
Rudd — my favorite moments from the first half of 2018
We’re only halfway through the year but there have already been several memorable movie moments from the batch of films released during the first two quarters of the year. In to-tal, I’ve watched 22 movies on the silver screen this year, so I no doubt have some blindspots that I need to take care of over the next few weeks before Oscar season comes around. Here are some of my favorite movie moments from the first half of 2018…
Oh, right. A review. Here’s a quick one: “Skyscraper,” starring Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, is exactly what you think it is. Director Rawson Marshall Thurber directly rips off moments from action mov-ies like “Die Hard” and it works for a few scenes. The movie gets points for showing John-son, a hulking tank of a man, as vulnerable, but is stuffed with action bits that are mostly laughable — the conclusion of the movie being the most egregious.
OK, let’s begin. Of course, SPOILERS!
ISLE OF BEAUTYDirector Wes Anderson’s
films have been somewhat of a mixed bag in terms of story tell-ing, but his visual flair — even in his non-animated movies — has always been great. “Isle of Dogs” is probably the best looking movie I’ve seen this year. The beautiful stop-motion
animation about an island inhabited by sickly dogs is so damn charming from its open-ing moments to the closing credits. There isn’t much depth to the story, but I’d be lying if I said it wasn’t a mesmerizing experience.
FIXING THE PASTRyan Reynolds has never
shied away from poking fun at himself — or others, for that matter — but his journey through the past in a post credit scene of “Deadpool 2” might have topped all of his past self-deprecation. Having the titular character, Deadpool, played by Reynolds, go back in time and kill the Reynolds before he could sign on to star in the superhero flop “Green Lan-tern” drew the biggest theater-wide laugh I’ve witness this year.
