A special NY treat
Congregation Emeth of Morgan Hill invites local residents to an opportunity to sample the culture of New York City. The group will partner with South Valley Civic Theatre to present a special performance of “The Producers” at 2:30 p.m. on July 12. This musical comedy, co-written by Borscht Belt comedian turned movie producer Mel Brooks, tells the story of two men who scheme to make money by producing a theatrical show guaranteed to fail, but which instead becomes an unexpected hit. This creates a business problem for the show’s producers, who must pay out profits to investors, of which there are a few too many. Based on a 1968 film that was controversial because of its irreverent story line, the musical version has since become a theatrical classic.

Klaus R. Hilbert von Hagen December 4, 1939 – August 30, 2014
Klaus was a dedicated school teacher for more than 40 years. He taught in the Business Department in the South San Francisco School District for most of this time before he retired. He then substitute taught in Palm Springs and lastly, in the Morgan Hill School District. He loved his substitute teaching, always trying hard to keep the students progressing in their studies rather than wasting a day. Most teachers he substituted for always appreciated his efforts.
