A scheming producer and his mousy accountant aim to produce the biggest flop on Broadway in Mel Brooks' laugh-out-loud spectacle. Bialystock and Bloom! Those names should strike terror and hysteria in anyone familiar with Mel Brooks' classic cult comedy film. Now as a big Broadway musical, The Producers once again sets the standard for modern, outrageous, in-your-face humor. It is a truly "boffo" hit, winning a record twelve Tony Awards and wowing capacity crowds night after night.

People collect all sorts of things for all sorts of reasons, and collectors of all types, young and old, experienced and amateur have shaped the identities of iconic American museums and historic sites. Old Sturbridge Village is the result of Albert B. Wells’s passion for the everyday furnishings, tools, gadgets, and oddities of early America and his collaboration with young antiques expert C. Malcolm Watkins, the museum’s first curator. Kindred Spirits explores the relationship between these two men and the roles they played in founding one of New England’s most cherished treasures, Old Sturbridge Village.
