When it comes to musical comedies, there are not many as funny as The Producers, and there are not many as outrageous. Mel Brooks does not shy away from tackling taboo subjects in this uproarious musical.reno

“The Taming”
By Lauren Gunderson

August 22-September 8, 2025

A HILARIOUS AND ABSURD STORY OF BEAUTY QUEENS, KIDNAPPED POLITICAL OPERATIVES (BOTH RED & BLUE), AND A FEW FOUNDING FATHERS, AND THEIR WILD QUEST TO REWRITE THE CONSTITUTION!
