The stage is set, the tenor is missing, and the laughs are guaranteed as Aurora Players presents the Tony Award-winning farce, Ken Ludwig’s Lend Me A Tenor, running for three weekends beginning this Friday until June 22, 2025.
Set in 1934, Lend Me A Tenor follows the chaos that erupts when a world-famous opera star, Tito Merrelli, known as “Il Stupendo,” goes missing just hours before his much-anticipated performance of the Italian opera, Pagliacci. With a frantic theater manager, a panicked assistant-turned-understudy, romantic entanglements, and two Pagliacci (meaning “clowns” in Italian) on the loose, the result is a whirlwind of mistaken identities, slamming doors, and sidesplitting confusion. If you like to laugh, this is one you won't want to miss.
Recommended for audiences 13 and up. Total running time: 2.25 hours. Fridays/Saturdays at 7:30pm; Sunday matinee only starts at 2:30pm.

Bye Bye Birdie is a classic, high-energy musical comedy set in the 1950s that satirizes the frenzy of rock and roll culture and teenage idol obsession. The story follows rock star Conrad Birdie, who is drafted into the army, and the chaos that ensues when his manager Albert and Albert's girlfriend Rosie plan a publicity stunt for Conrad to give "one last kiss" to a lucky fan on national television—causing mayhem in the small town of Sweet Apple, Ohio.
This lively production features a talented cast of Western New York youth and seasoned professionals, blending emerging talent with experienced performers to bring the story to life. Their passion, energy, and dedication shine through every musical number and scene, making for an unforgettable theatrical experience.
