March 18-20, 2011 - Lend Me a Tenor at Murphys Creek Theater - At the Black Bart Theater. The 2011 season will open with Ken Ludwig's hilarious “Lend Me a Tenor”, playing March 18 through April 10. The play is set in Cleveland in 1934, and this September night is the biggest in the history of the Cleveland Grand Opera Company. World famous tenor Tito Morelli is to perform Othello, his greatest role, at the gala season opener. The harried General Manager, Saunders, hopes this will put Cleveland on the cultural map. When Morelli finally arrives, drunk, it is too late for any rehearsal. Through a hilarious series of mishaps, 'Il Stupendo' is given a double dose of tranquilizers and passes out. His pulse is so low that Saunders believes he is dead. What to do? You'll have to see the play to find out. Call 209-728-8422 or visit www.murphyscreektheater.org for tickets and information.
