Lend Me A Tenor
by Playhouse 2000

Jun. 01 - Jun. 02

From the pen of Ken Ludwig, the master of modern farce and author of both Noises Off and Moon Over Buffalo comes Lend Me A Tenor, another in his list of hits, with award-winning productions in both New York and London. Through an amazing series of mistakes and accidents, hapless “wanna-be” Opera singer “Max” finds himself having to replace the world-famous Tito Morelli.

Irec Hargrove will be making his Playhouse 2000 Directing debut with this show, and he'll be looking for four men and four women of various ages to play these roles:

  • Saunders -- 50-ish. The head of an opera company that is about to host the world's greatest tenor for a benefit performance, except that that everything - but everything - goes wrong.
  • Max -- 30-ish. An opera nerd who loves Maggie as much as he loves opera, and desperately longs for courage. He works under Saunders, a little too literally;
  • Maggie -- 20's - 30's. Saunders' daughter and love interest of Max, who is completely star-struck by superstar Tito.
  • Tito Merelli -- 40-something. A life-loving, over-indulgent world-class tenor with a passion for food, wine, women, and especially opera. Did we mention women?
  • Maria, Tito's wife -- 40's. A moody, hot-blooded, hot-tempered Italian who's "a little bit" jealous.
  • Julia -- 50-60's. A society matron in the mode of the Marx Bros' Margaret Dumont. She's the president of the Opera Guild, very important.
  • Diana -- Ageless. Opera Diva, publicity hound, dumb like a fox.
  • Bellhop -- 20-something. A wiseguy who serves as the eyes, the ears, and the mouth of the hotel!

 

The audition will consist of cold readings from the script, which is available for two-day check out at the VK Garage Theater office. If you have other questions, give us a call at (830) 896-9393.
