A Comedy by Ken Ludwig
Sunrise Theater
September 8, 9, 10, 11 @ 7:30PM

The biggest night in the history of the Cleveland Grand Opera Co is about to happen when the world famous tenor, Tito Morelli comes to perform his greatest role, Otello, for the gala season opener. However, through a hilarious series of mishaps, Tito is given a double dose of tranquilizers, which lowers his pulse to where Saunders, the General Manager of the company, and his assistant Max think he's dead. To not disappoint the audience, Max, an aspiring singer himself, dons Morelli's costume to perform the role, which he manages to do admirably. In the meantime, Tito comes to, gets into costume and that's when the fun begins. Mistaken identity, women and room swaps make this one of the funniest plays ever written.

Argentina's controversial First Lady is the subject of this dynamic musical masterpiece. Driven by ambition and blessed with charisma, Eva was a starlet at 22, the president's mistress at 24, Argentina's First Lady at 27 and dead at 33. Told through a compelling score that fuses haunting chorales with exuberant Latin, pop and jazz influences, EVITA creates an arresting theatrical portrait as complex as the woman herself. _____________________________

This ballet is the most celebrated ballet of all times and is most indicative of the Christmas Season. It begins with a party, where Uncle Drosselmeyer gives Clara the most beautiful nutcracker as his present. As the evening grows late, Clara falls asleep with the nutcracker in her arms, only to find that there is magic in this gift, and she is tranported to the Land of Snow and the Land of Sweets, following a fierce battle with the Mouse King and the Nutcracker with his army of toy soldiers. A magnificent production for all ages.
