Commercial productions of The Producers won a record-breaking 12 Tony  
awards and broke the record for the largest single-day box office  
gross in theatre history. The well-known story, adapted by Mel Brooks  
and Thomas Meehan from Brooks' 1968 film of the same name, with lyrics  
by Brooks and music by Brooks and Glen Kelly concerns two theatrical  
producers who scheme to get rich by overselling interests in a  
Broadway flop which unexpectedly turns out to be successful. Don't  
miss the Lyric premiere of this international hit of the Broadway  
stage. Map + Directions

The Wrong House - World Premier Screening	

183 County Road
Westbrook, Maine 04092
Phone: (207) 774-3456
Sep 20, 2009. World premiere of the Maine-made HD horror flick "The  
Wrong House." The story: An isolated house in the woods looks like an  
easy mark to a group of friends camping in the Maine wilderness. The  
thieves haul away several ounces of pot and hallucinogenic mushrooms  
in the heist. But when the homeowners track them down, the thieves  
learn too late that there are some people you just shouldn't mess  
with... and that they picked The Wrong House. Backstory: The film was  
inspired by a break-in at the home of husband/wife producers Shawn  
French and Sue Stevens (who also play the killers in the film). They  
began work on the script to vent frustration, but once the story fell  
into place, they knew they had to shoot this movie. 'The Wrong House'  
was written by Shawn French of Wisdumb Productions and co-directed by  
French and Andy Davis ("2" "I'm Sorry") of Emptyhouse Film. This stunt- 
heavy horror film was shot last fall in Limerick, Maine and features  
horror FX by artist Eric Anderson. See Trailer. Tickets: $5 at the  
door or at Brown Paper Tickets. Screening at 6:30 p.m. Map + Directions
