Famous opera singer Tito, played by Stephen M. Guice, right, talks with his assistant, played by Matthew Krob, in this scene from the comedy “Lend Me a Tenor,” opening Thursday in the Millbrook Playhouse Poorman Cabaret.
Door-slamming chaos reaches a truly operatic level and laughter abounds in this screwball comedy. A famous opera singer goes missing and the show's hapless assistant has to cover for his absence, soothe his hot-tempered wife and distract his most passionate fans to prevent disaster.
On the Ryan Main Stage, the big-production musical "All Shook Up" continues Wednesday through Sunday this week.
Both shows are family-friendly. Sundays are Family Day at Millbrook, with a discount for two adults with children.
Show times are 7:30 p.m. daily. Also, matinees at 2 p.m. are planned this Wednesday for "All Shook Up" and Sunday, July 1 for "Lend Me a Tenor."
