Performers Needed for Theatre Audition "Lend Me A Tenor"
Male and female talent are needed for the "Lend Me A Tenor" show. Please see the details below. ONLY LOCAL TALENT WILL BE CONSIDERED. About the project: Lend Me A Tenor is set in September 1934. It’s 1934, and the world’s greatest tenor Tito Merelli has come to Cleveland, Ohio, to save its Grand Opera Company by singing Pagliacci. When he’s unexpectedly incapacitated, Max, the Opera Director’s meek assistant, is given the daunting task of finding a last-minute replacement. Chaos ensues – including a scheming soprano, a star-struck ingénue, a jealous wife, and more than a bit of mistaken identity. A sensation on Broadway and in London’s West End, this madcap, screwball comedy is guaranteed to leave you teary-eyed with laughter.
