Lend Me a Tenor<\/a><\/h2>\n

September 27 to October 5, 2019
\nBy Ken Ludwig
\nDirected by Sean Anderson<\/p>\n

It\u2019s September 8, 1934 \u2013 the biggest night in the history of the Cleveland Grand Opera Company. The world-famous Tenor, Tito Merelli, known as Il Stupendo, is set to appear for one night only as the star of the opera, at the ten-year anniversary gala season opener. Tito arrives late, and through a hilarious series of mishaps, he is given a double dose of tranquilizers and passes out. Tito is believed to be dead and everyone is in a panic. In a frantic attempt to save the evening and fool the audience, Tito is replaced by Max, an assistant with little stage training. But when the real Tenor suddenly awakens and gets into costume, the chaos of mistaken identities, mixed signals and misunderstandings has everyone scrambling! A sensation on Broadway and in London\u2019s West End, this madcap, zany farce is guaranteed to leave audiences teary-eyed with laughter.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/p><\/div>\n

The Graduate<\/a><\/h2>\n

January 31 to February 15, 2020
\nAdapted by Terry Johnson, based on the novel by Charles Webb and the screenplay by Calder Willingham and Buck Henry
\nDirected by Danelle White<\/p>\n

Benjamin Braddock is a confused young man. Having spent four years achieving a brilliant scholastic record, upon graduation he finds himself adrift, uncertain about his future, disconnected from his purpose, and increasingly alienated from the upper-class, suburban, \u201cplastic\u201d world of his parents in 1960\u2019s Southern California. Fighting panic and boredom, he is deeply conflicted but ultimately willing when Mrs. Robinson, the unhappily married, alcoholic, and dangerously charismatic wife of his father\u2019s business partner, tempts him into an affair. Benjamin\u2019s tenuous existence of lazy days and stolen nights falls apart when he falls in love — with Elaine — Mrs. Robinson\u2019s upbeat, optimistic daughter.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/p><\/div>

The Pirates of Penzance<\/a><\/h2>\n

Postponed due to Covid-19 – new dates TBD
\nBy Gilbert and Sullivan
\nDirected by Paige Fossheim, Music Direction by Stefanie Barnfather, Choreography by Karen Iwanski<\/p>\n

Strike up the band for one of Gilbert and Sullivan\u2019s most beloved operettas! The Pirates of Penzance combines whimsy, light-hearted satire and piratical characters with stirring music, including the iconic \u201cMajor-General\u2019s Song\u201d. This is the play that cemented the comic-pirate theme in popular culture, a theme that has lasted through more than a century and spawned countless movies and novels. Jam-packed with sentimental, swashbuckling pirates, a completely dotty Major General and a bumbling bunch of hopeless but hilarious policemen, what could possibly go wrong?\u00a0 To add to the topsy-turvy nature of G&S, Morpheus will be flipping the genders of all your favourite characters.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/p><\/div><\/p>\n

Classes will include professional instruction in Acting and Voice and the program will culminate in two\u00a0youth performances on the set of our mainstage production in the Victor Mitchell Theatre at the Pumphouse Theatre.<\/p>\n
