The production!
Steve Mundinger |
By the numbers, Aspen Community Theatre’s current show, “The Producers,” is impressive across the board. The acclaimed Mel Brooks musical, which won a record 12 Tony Awards on Broadway, runs through Sunday at the Aspen District Theatre. The production involves more than100 volunteers, including a production staff and crew that manage everything from costumes to hair and makeup to publicity and concessions, as well as a professional orchestra, ushers, board members and more.
Produced by the dynamic duo of Jody Hecht and Rita Hunter, Aspen’s rendition features a cast of 29 who rehearsed 40 times in preparation for an eight-show run. As a nonprofit, ACT maintains lowpriced tickets, ensuring shows are accessible to the community at just $20 apiece.

Both studied dance with Aspen Santa Fe Ballet (ASFB) as kids, continued their training with other prominent schools, and now return this weekend, as ASFB presents “The Nutcracker” at Aspen District Theater.
