Don't miss LEND ME A TENOR. It’s the biggest night in the history of the Cleveland Grand Opera Company. World famous Italian tenor, Tito Morelli, is scheduled to sing the title role in Othello as part of a $50,000 fundraiser. But it appears the tenor has his own plans. The show must go on-at all costs. One of the funniest comedies written in the last 20 years. Don’t miss it!
