"Lend Me a Tenor" at Playhouse 22

It’s a big night for the Cleveland Grand Opera: famous tenor Tito Merelli is to perform Otello. But Tito accidentally takes a double dose of tranquilizers and passes out. Saunders, the harried Impressario, assumes Tito dead and convinces his assistant, Max, to go on as Otello.

The plan is working until Tito revives and dons another Otello costume.  Mistaken identities abound as the plot spins wildly out of control, with two identical Otellos variously pursued by two women, each determined to seduce the famous tenor.

Performances are Fridays and Saturdays at 8 p.m., Sundays at 3 p.m., through June 24.

Tickets cost $20, $18 seniors/students.
