Lend Me a Tenor
By Ken Ludwig

Directed by Susan Sargeant

Winner of 3 Tony Awards and 4 Drama Desk Awards, Lend Me A Tenor is set in September 1934. On a very important night for the Cleveland Grand Opera Company, Tito Merelli, the world-famous Italian tenor, is set to perform the starring role in Pagliacci. Henry Saunders—General Manager of the company—is beyond stressed about everything turning out right, and insists that his assistant, Max—a nervous, young fellow and secret tenor extraordinaire—watch over Tito's every move to ensure smooth sailing. After a huge fight with his fiery, Italian wife Maria, Tito receives a double dose of tranquilizers through a series of mishaps. Throw in Diana, an ambitious, female co-star; Maggie, Max's giddy girlfriend; Julia, a flirty head of the opera guild; and a meddling bellhop fighting for Tito's attention, and together, you have a recipe for comedic disaster. Max navigates the company through one catastrophe after the next—an angry wife, a presumed death, crazy costumes, secret s*x romps, and loads and loads of slamming doors and mistaken identities—and, ultimately, takes on the role of Pagliacci to great effect. Together, Max and Saunders find a way to save the Opera Company's big night in grand, farcical fashion.

Director Susan Sargeant says, “"Ken Ludwig's LEND ME A TENOR is a madcap comedy of high stakes, misidentities, slamming doors and screwball antics. The perfect recipe for a fiercely funny time at the theatre!"

This production stars TCC Northeast Students Bryson Coffey, Dayen Cruz, Trevor Nevills, Luke Sargent, Darolyn Nieves, Kaitlin Bridges, Kim Okoroafor, Saige Belden.

Almost Maine
By John Cariani

Directed by Jakie Cabe

"Jeezum Crow!" It's one of the most produced plays in the world onstage at the Northeast Playhouse Drama Department on Tarrant County College's Northeast Campus.

On a cold, clear, moonless night in the middle of winter, all is not quite what it seems in the remote, mythical town of Almost, Maine. As the northern lights hover in the star-filled sky above, Almost's residents find themselves falling in and out of love in unexpected and often hilarious ways. Knees are bruised. Hearts are broken. But the bruises heal, and the hearts mend—almost—in this delightful midwinter night's dream.
