A Shropshire drama group has completed a hard fought audition process to find the leads for its next production Mel Brook's famous musical comedy The Producers.

Mad Cow Productions is delighted to announce that their next production for May 2011, in the Main Auditorium, Theatre Severn, will be the fantastic comedy musical: THE PRODUCERS

The show contains all the razzmatazz associated with a big Broadway show and we want our production to showcase the best of Shropshire talent.

Can you act, sing, or dance?

We can't believe it!! Josef Weinbergers Ltd have awarded Mad Cow Productions the licence to perform the utterly fabilous show The Producers, which we will produce in the Main House Theatre Severn in May 2011.

Winner of a record 12 Tony Awards THE PRODUCERS  is: Outrageous, hilarious, a teeny bit shocking, off the wall, but never, never boring!  You will find yourself holding your sides with laughter as Max Bialystok and Leo Bloom sing and dance their way through the greatest show biz scam that there ever was!

The Shropshire Star has posted an excellent feature about Mad Cow Productions on it's hugely popular web site. Written by Emma Kasprzak it tells of her experiences as a new actress within the group and outlines the extent of our activities.

Definitely worth a look!

After our hugely successful, sell out production of A Funny Thing Happened On The Way To The Forum we have chosen the hilarious comedy Move Over Mrs Markham by Ray Cooney and Jonathan Chapman as our next show.

One of the famous Whitehall Comedies, that ran for years in London's West End, it is to be performed in the Walker Theatre, Theatre Severn from Thursday September the 30th to Saturday October the 2nd 2010. Tickets (£12) are now on sale from the Theatre Severn Box Office.

MCP is delighted to announce its cast for Move Over Mrs Markham. As is our way at Mad Cow there are some brand new names for you, alongside some well known ones. Those of you who regularly follow our productions will notice that some people, who have previously only played a small role with us, now move into the limelight in a principle one. We love to keep our productions fresh and give new talent a chance. So without further ado, in order of appearance here they are:
