April 1, 2005 - The film The Producers, which is currently shooting at Steiner Studios, is supporting more than New York City’s production industry! On March 14, the production sold seats during the filming of a scene at the St. James Theatre. Audience members wore 1950’s clothing and were featured as extras in the film. Ticket sales benefited FoodChange, which provides food to the hungry in New York City.

“This event is an excellent example of the many ways in which the production industry benefits our local communities,” Katherine Oliver, Commissioner of the Mayor’s Office of Film, Theatre and Broadcasting, said. “New York City is thrilled to host a production that is so committed to giving back.”

The Producers chose to shoot in New York City as a result of the Made in NY incentive program. Click here for more information.
