The Producers
July 24 - August 2, 2009
Hobby Center for the Performing Arts
Mel Brooks' adaptation of his movie of the same name is wildly hysterical and has delighted audiences all around the world. A down-on-his-luck producer and his meek accountant discover that they could conceivably make more money on a show that flops than on a successful production, and so they set out to find and produce the worst possible musical imaginable (and make millions of dollars for themselves along the way). The scheme nets them the ridiculously offensive script for Springtime for Hitler, and upon arriving at opening night, the duo is stunned when the production (full of crass dialogue, blatant stereotypes and kicklines of singing Nazis) is hailed as a monumental success. The Producers is sure to leave everyone rolling in the aisles as it proudly proclaims itself an "equal opportunity offender!"

The Blue Planet Live!
Friday, July 24, 7:30 pm
When BBC/Discovery filmmakers dove into ocean depths still foreign even to scientists to produce the celebrated documentary series The Blue Planet, they chose George Fenton to create the musical score to match the mysterious world they uncovered. Now Fenton has adapted his Emmy®-winning score into a sweeping symphonic experience. In its Houston premiere, Assistant Conductor/American Conducting Fellow Brett Mitchell will lead the Houston Symphony in a live performance of Fenton's evocative music while a specially edited theatrical presentation of the series' most dramatic sequences plays on a giant screen above the Jones Hall stage.
Due to the graphic nature of some film sequences, this concert is recommended for audience members 12 years of age and up.

The Galveston Island State Park offers paddlers access to one of Galveston's premier ecological and historical jewels. Witness herons and pelicans flying overhead, travel back in time to when the Karankawas made Galveston Island their winter home, and discover how restoration scientists have restored wetlands and fisheries. This 1,200-acre state park hosts many examples of barrier island habitats explored easily from the beach or by walking trails.
