Downers Grove North's 'Lend Me a Tenor' On Stage this Weekend

Students at North High School in Downers Grove will present the comedy “Lend Me a Tenor” this weekend.

“Lend Me a Tenor” is an award-winning comedy by Ken Ludwig. Set in September 1934, the general manager of the Cleveland Opera Company, Saunders, is preparing for the performance of the famous Tito Morelli.

But alas, through an odd turn of events, Tito turns out to be a no-show, and Saunders gives the part to his assistant, Max. Max succeeds as Morelli, but suddenly the real Morelli shows up, and soon two Titos are running around in costume, along with two women in lingerie that believe they are with the real Tito Morelli.

Cast members include Andy Krupin, Colleen Gorecki, Matt Brill, Martaza Karpasi, Arielle Evans, Sara Batchu, Alexa Castelvecchi, and Connor Leigh.

"Lend Me a Tenor" takes the stage on Friday, April 27 and Saturday, April 28 at 7 p.m., and Sunday, April 29 at 3 p.m. The community is welcome to attend. Tickets are $5 for students and $6 for adults and will be available at the door.
