 vent Date End: 2011-07-23\n\nLend Me A Tenor\, a hilarious farce by Ken Lu
 dwig\, directed by Nancy Curran Willis and designed by Brian Milauskas\, w
 ill open July 15 and run through July 23 at the NextDoor Center for the Ar
 ts.  The cast features two outstanding equity actors from the Boston area\
 , Robert Antonelli in the role of Max\, who appeared NextDoor as Snoopy la
 st summer and IRNE award winning actress Shana Dirk in the role of Maria\,
  recently seen in SpeakEasy Stage Company's production of NINE.  Other fam
 iliar faces from the local community theater scene appearing onstage are J
 im Ansart (Saunders)\, Deavid Berti (Tito Morelli)\, Alaina Fragoso (Maggi
 e)\, Kim McClure (Julia)\, SaraJane Mullins (Diana) and Ronny Pompeo (Bell
 hop). \n\n\n\nThe play takes place n 1934 when the renowned tenor Tito Mer
 elli\, known to his fans as 'Il Stupendo\,' is scheduled to sing the lead 
 in Otello. The opera is being produced as a gala fundraiser for the Clevel
 and Opera Company. Unfortunately\, even before the star leaves his hotel r
 oom\, everything begins to unravel. Chaos ensues when Merelli's wife\, who
  has mistaken an autograph-seeker hidden in his closet for a secret lover\
 , leaves him a 'Dear John' letter. The distraught Merelli accidentally is 
 given a double dose of tranquilizers to calm him and passes out. Saunders\
 , the company's General Manager\, is determined that the show will go on (
 for his own financial sake)\, so he asks his assistant Max to impersonate 
 the opera star. Max puts on the blackface makeup required for the role of 
 Otello\, and his disguise succeeds admirably &ndash\; until Merelli\, also
  in blackface\, wakes up and heads for the stage. What follows is a chain-
 reaction of mistaken identity\, farcical plot twists\, double entendres\, 
 innuendoes\, and constant entrances and exits through many doors.\n\n\n\nS
 hows Friday and Saturday are at 8 PM and Sunday at 2 PM.  Thursday July 21
  is a special &ldquo\;pay what you can&rdquo\; performance at 7:30 PM.  Fo
