Super Summer Theatre’s season finale is an odyssey of musical theater told through the story of would-be failed producers Max Bialystock and Leo Bloom in the 2001 Broadway hit “The Producers.

In the 1939 movie version of “The Wizard of Oz,” the Cowardly Lion wistfully sings, “If I only had the nerve.”

Something familiar, from Shakespeare to Sondheim, from “A Streetcar Named Desire” to “The Wizard of Oz.”

First Friday

Theater purists might not like Naked Navigation Theatre Collective’s touring production of Tennessee Williams’s “A Streetcar Named Desire” playing at the Onyx Theatre. While the risks that director Dana Martin takes in adapting Williams’ text don’t always play out, they make for an enjoyable evening of theater.

If you saw “The Producers” at Paris Las Vegas about five years ago, you didn’t really see “The Producers.”
