SSCC Theatre is pleased to announce their upcoming auditions for the spring production of Ken Ludwig’s Lend Me a Tenor.

This night in September of 1934 is the biggest in the history of the Cleveland Grand Opera Company. Through a hilarious series of mishaps, world famous tenor, Tito Morelli, is given a double dose of tranquilizers, which mix with the booze he has consumed, and he passes out. His pulse is so low that Saunders, the general manager, and his assistant Max believe he is dead. What to do? Madness ensues as this hilarious farce spins out of control onstage and off.

Auditions, open to community members and students, will be held on Friday, January 18 at 6:30pm in The Edward K. Daniels Auditorium at the Central Campus of Southern State Community College, in Hillsboro, OH. Those interested in auditioning should prepare and memorize a one to two minute comedic monologue. If auditioning for Tito or Max, prepare your best rendition of “Dio, che nell’alma infondera” from Act II, Scene 1 of Verdi’s DON CARLO. Actors may be asked to cold read from the script.

Lend Me a Tenor is directed by Rainee Angles and will be performed April 5 – 7, 2013. For more information about Lend Me a Tenor, character descriptions, the audition packet, and a rehearsal schedule, please click here.
