AUDITIONS! “Lend me a Tenor”

TPI will be holding auditions TONIGHT (8/1) and TOMORROW NIGHT (8/2) at 7PM at the Thibodaux Playhouse rehearsal hall: 1120 Caroline St. in Thibodaux.

“In 1934, the renowned tenor Tito Merelli, known to his fans as “Il Stupendo,” is scheduled to sing the lead in Otello. 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. What follows is a chain-reaction of mistaken identity, farcical plot twists, double entendres, innuendoes, and constant entrances and exits through many doors. A rip-roaring comedy!”

However, there are roles for all children who audition; we turn no one away. This year’s show is a parody of several children’s fairy tales all rolled into one, with of course Little Red Riding Hood, the linguistically challenged wolf (note the title), Goldilocks, Hansel and Gretel, a large contingent of bears and other forest critters, and what fairy tale would be complete without a wicked witch?” Coleman said with a sly smile.
