Repertory Theatre
to play at Cal Poly
Celebrating its 25th year, the
Montana Repertory Theatre will
perform two shows in the Theatre
March 30-31: a side-splitting farce
and a musical drama.
Presented as part of Cal Poly
Arts' CenterStage Series, "Lend
Me a Tenor" will play at 8 pm
March 30, and "U.S.A." will be at
8 pm March 31.
Written by Tony-nominated play­
wright Ken Ludwig, "Lend Me A
Tenor" is a fast-moving opera­
themed comedy set in 1934 Oeve­
land. The play opens with a com­
edic panic, as a sold-out perfor­
mance of "Otello" approaches .
Written in the outrageous style of
the Marx Brothers' classic "A
Night at the Opera," "Lend Me A
Tenor" combines high-caliber
writing and uproarious dilemmas.
"U.S.A." is a musical exploring
America's emergence as a world
power. The play's colorful person­
alities, real and fictional, offer an
intriguing kaleidoscope of words,
music and dance.
The play's director, Joel Jahnke,
has added music that includes
waltzes, cakewalks, and a rousing
rendition of George M. Cohan's
"You're A Grand Old Flag."
Tickets for each performance are
$15 for the public and $13 for stu­
dents and senior citizens for
premium seating and $13 for the
public and $11 for students and
senior citizens for preferred seat­
ing. Buy them at the Theatre Ticket
Office between 10 am and 4 pm
