Based on comic veteran Mel Brooks’ Oscar-winning film, The Producers is the story of a down-on-his-luck theatrical producer and his mousy accountant. The two concoct the ultimate scam: Raise more money than needed for a sure-fire Broadway flop and pocket the difference. This comedic masterpiece holds the record for the most Tonys garnered, including “Best Musical” and “Best Score.” Show contains mature content and is recommended for age 14 and older.

The Tony-winning Ragtime returns in an all-new touring production. Set in turn-of-the-20th century New York, the stories of an upper-class wife, a determined Jewish immigrant, and a daring young Harlem musician unfold—all three united by their desire and belief in a brighter tomorrow. It’s a timeless celebration of what life could (and should) be!

CCPA ENDOWMENT FUND

Since its opening in 1993, the Cerritos Center for the Performing Arts (CCPA) has been recognized as a landmark cultural destination for the Southern California region.

The visionary leadership displayed by the Cerritos City Council in developing this magnificent theater was matched by its unwavering commitment to guarantee adequate ongoing financial support for the venue’s operation. To accomplish this goal, the Cerritos City Council founded the CCPA Endowment Fund in 1994. In establishing the Endowment Fund, the Cerritos City Council made an unequivocal pledge to future generations of Southern Californians by dedicating funds to ensure that the CCPA remains a welcoming, accessible, and affordable venue where patrons can experience the joy of entertainment and cultural enrichment.

The Cerritos City Council invites you to become a CCPA Associate and help secure a place in Southern California for the broad-based arts and entertainment programming that is the CCPA’s hallmark.

CCPA Associates receive benefits commensurate with their level of support. These benefits range from a subscription to the CCPA’s Premier News publication to advance ticket-purchase privileges and preferred parking. Contributions to the CCPA Endowment Fund are tax deductible.

The Cerritos City Council thanks you for taking the time to consider making a commitment to the future of Southern California arts and entertainment. To become a CCPA Associate, fill out the Ticket Order form enclosed with this Season Brochure.
