Lend Me A Tenor, presented by Heritage Players

Catonsville’s Heritage Players Strike a Comic Chord with Their Production of Lend Me a Tenor

Heritage Players, Inc. presents Ken Ludwig’s hilarious farce, Lend Me a Tenor, opening March 16th at Rice Auditorium in Catonsville. This intelligent comedy would have been a perfect vehicle for the Marx Brothers and director Damien Gibbons has brought together a cast just as nimble.

Set during the 1930s in a magnificent Cleveland hotel suite, Lend Me a Tenor depicts the tale of a megastar tenor from Italy who arrives for his debut performance in the leading role of "Otello" with the local opera company. What ensues is a masterpiece of slapstick comedy that will keep audiences laughing all night long.

Heritage Players, a philanthropic as well as theatrical presence for over 35 years, will donate a portion of the proceeds from the show to Music is Medicine (http://www.musicismed.org). “Music is Medicine uses music to contribute artistically to the field of medicine. Music philanthropy is the notion that music can be directed towards bettering society and those in need. We bring music programs to ill children, fundraise for medically-related causes, and encourage and empower musicians around the world to use music to make a difference.” (from http://www.musicismed.org/about.html). A portion of the proceeds will also go to the Spring Grove Hospital Patient Fund.

Performances are March 16, 17, 22, 23, 24, 30, and 31 at 8 pm and March 25 and April 1 at 2 pm at Rice Auditorium at the Spring Grove Hospital, 55 Wade Ave, Catonsville, MD 21228.
