Lend Me A Tenor by Ken Ludwig We begin the season with quite possibly the funniest play written in the past 30 years. Set in the 1930s, Lend Me A Tenor is a madcap screwball comedy. Tito Merelli, the fi ery-tempered and world famous Italian Season Pass superstar, arrives in Cleveland, Ohio to make his debut with the local opera and promptly goes missing. As Saunders, the show’s presenter, conspires to cover for Tito’s absence, placate his hot-blooded wife, and distract his most passionate fans, chaos on a truly operatic level ensues.
