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 Pagliacci. 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, and together, you have a recipe for comedic disaster. Max navigates the company through one catastrophe after the next -- an angry wife, a presumed death, crazy costumes, secret sex romps, and loads and loads of slamming doors and mistaken identities -- and, ultimately, takes on the role of Pagliacci to great effect. Together, Max and Saunders find a way to save the Opera Company’s big night in grand, farcical fashion.
Rehearsals are in full swing for Lend Me A Tenor directed by Joe Bruton which opens February 27th!!

Dear friends of Classic Theater Guild,
We hope this letter finds you well. As a valued supporter of the arts, I am reaching out to you on behalf of Classic Theater Guild to share a challenging situation that we are currently facing. Due to the restrictions of our current home, we are unable to have a full production season and provide the high-quality performances that our community has come to expect from us.
One of the main hurdles we are facing is the severe lack of storage space, which is essential for a successful theater production. Without a permanent home of our own, we are limited in our ability to deliver top-notch shows and bring joy to our audiences.
In order to address these challenges and secure a new home for our theater company, we have initiated a fundraising campaign. Our goal is to raise the necessary funds to find and purchase a space that will not only serve as our performance venue but also provide the storage capacity we urgently need to thrive.
We understand that the road ahead will be long and challenging, but with the support of generous donors like you, we are confident that we can make our dream of a new home a reality. Your contribution, no matter the amount, will be greatly appreciated and will bring us closer to achieving our goal.
There is no donation too big or too small - every contribution will make a significant impact in our efforts to secure a permanent home for our theater company. Your generosity will enable us to have a full production season, expand our artistic capabilities, and continue to bring the joy of theater to our community.
We are extremely grateful for any help you can provide to make our dream of a new home for our theater company a reality. Your support is invaluable to us, and we thank you for considering a donation to assist us in our fundraising efforts.
To donate please contact us.
Warm regards,
The board of Classic Theater Guild
