    Lend Me A Tenor Act II Playhouse Lend Me A Tenor Presented by Act II Playhouse at Act II Playhouse May 7-June 2, 2013 Lend Me a Tenor is a madcap screwball comedy that takes place when Tito Merelli, the fiery-tempered and world famous Italian superstar, goes missing just as he's to make his debut with a local opera company. As the show's presenter (played by Tony Braithwaite) conspires to cover for Tito's absence, placate his hot-blooded wife, and distract his passionate fans, chaos on a truly operatic level ensues!
