Lend Me A Tenor - Bay City Players

March 22-24; March 28-31, 2019

One of America’s most popular farces, LEND ME A TENOR starts naturally enough: the Cleveland Opera will highlight this season with one performance by world-famous Tito Merelli—simply everyone will be there. However, Tito shows up with personal reasons to be upset; and in order to calm him, Max helps him out with a tranquilizer—or two. And before you know it, shy Max finds himself in opera disguise to sing Tito’s role. Can he pull it off? Combine that with lingerie-clad ladies hiding in closets in order not be revealed to the press and you have a door-slamming, audience pleasing frolic. Ages 16 and up.

Performances: Thursday – Saturday: 7:30 PM; Sundays: 3 PM
