The Greater Latrobe Drama Club is preparing to present their Fall Play, Lend Me a Tenor on Saturday, November 9th at 7:30 pm and Sunday, November 10th at 1:30 pm in the Senior High School Auditorium. Tickets will be $18 for adults and $15 for students and senior citizens and will be sold at the door.
Lend Me a Tenor was written by Ken Ludwig. Synopsis – On a very important night for the Cleveland Grand Opera Company, Tito Mirelli, the world-famous Italian tenor, is set to perform the starring role in Pagliacci. Henry Saunders — General Manager of the company — is beyond stressed about everything turning out right, and insists that his assistant, Max — a nervous, young fellow and secret tenor extraordinaire — watch over Tito’s every move to ensure smooth sailing. After a huge fight with his fiery, Italian wife Maria, Tito receives a double dose of tranquilizers through a series of mishaps. Throw in Diana, an ambitious, female co-star; Maggie, Max’s giddy girlfriend; Julia, a flirty head of the opera guild; and a meddling bellhop fighting for Tito’s attention, and together, you have a recipe for comedic disaster.
