Putnam Valley High School TheatreWorks Presents 'Lend Me A Tenor'

From Putnam Valley Central School District:

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 Otello. 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; together, a recipe for comedic disaster. Max navigates the company through one catastrophe after the next - an angry wife, a presumed death, crazy
costumes, and loads and loads of slamming doors and mistaken identities - and, ultimately, takes on the role of Otello to great effect. Together, Max and Saunders find a way to somehow save the Opera Company’s big night.
