East Cleveland Theater (ECT) is hosting auditions for “Lend Me a Tenor”, written by Ken Ludwig.  We are needing 2 men and 1 woman to complete our casting.


East Cleveland Theater recently won 2 Broadway World awards:

     First Place: Best Production of a Drama or Comedy

     First Place: Best Actor in a Drama or Comedy


Synopsis:

When a world class tenor comes to Cleveland, lives, loves, and relationships are turned upside down, resulting in a comedy farce that no one should miss.

 

 

The Roles:

 

Max: Saunders' long-suffering assistant, who is forced to take Tito's place in the role of Othello.  This role does sing.

 

Tito Merelli: The world's most renowned opera tenor, and notorious ladies man.  This role does sing.

 

Julia: Chairwoman of the Cleveland Opera Guild, who considers herself a "grande dame." She wears a silver dress which, Saunders says, makes her look "like the Chrysler Building."  

 

Director: Megan Thompson

Megan Thompson is Executive Director of Great Lakes Light Opera, and has directed and performed in numerous shows.

Rehearsals:

ECT typically has a six week rehearsal period.  For this show that would mean rehearsals would typically begin the middle/end of March, but that is not set in stone.  Exact dates have not been discussed, and depend on the schedules of the cast and crew.  If you are concerned, please show up at auditions and tell us your limitations.
