MELBOURNE CIVIC THEATRE’S NEXT PRODUCTION:
Brevard's premiere of : Ken Ludwig’s Lend me a Soprano ( A Farce )
Synopsis: The play is set in 1934, when the clever and combustible Lucille Wiley, Manager of the Cleveland Grand Opera Company, is ready to welcome world-class soprano Elena Firenzi for her one-night-only starring role in Carmen. Alas, Elena arrives late, her impassioned husband Pasquale has a fit of jealousy, and it remains to be seen whether Mrs. Wiley’s mousy but determined assistant Jo can save the day. Based on Ludwig’s Tony Award-winning Lend Me A Tenor, the roles are reversed, and the ladies take the lead in this madcap screwball comedy guaranteed to leave audiences teary-eyed with laughter. Recommended for ages 14+ for adult humor and content.
The Cast: Shane Frampton as Mrs. Wylie, Victoria Huss as Jo, Rich Klenotich as Jerry, Aaron Karnes as Pasquale, Holly McFarland Karnes as Elena, Ray Santana as Leo, Holly Stone as Beverly the Bellhop, and Adonna Niosi as Julia.
The Production Staff: Director: Peg Girard, Set Design and Technical Director: Alan Selby, Light Design Josh Huss, Sound Design: Wendy Reader, Set Artist: Linda Lindsey, Costumes by Susan Suomi, Julie Deluca and Peg Girard. Hair and Wigs by Jessica Foix
