Lend me a Tenor is A Play by Ken Ludwig being directed by Jay Burns. World-renowned tenor Tito Merelli has signed on to play Otello at a Cleveland opera company in the fall of 1934. He arrives late and, through a set of crazy circumstances, passes out after mixing wine with a huge dose of tranquilizers. Believing that the divo is dead, the excitable opera manager taps his hapless assistant, an aspiring singer named Max, to suit up as the Moor and replace Merelli.
Meanwhile, the tenor’s jealous wife, his ambitious female co-star, Max’s young girlfriend and the flirtatious head of the opera guild are on the scene fighting—sometimes literally—for the star’s attention. Broadway.com

The tale of St. Brendan the Navigator setting sail in a skin boat from the coast of Ireland in the 6th century has held great appeal for eons. According to legend, the Abbot of Clonfert set out with several companions in search of the mythological “Isles of the Blessed,” reported to lie somewhere in the Atlantic Ocean. During the voyage, Brendan thought he had washed ashore, but in fact, his vessel had grounded on the back of a whale. On it he said Mass and gave thanks for their good fortune.
Boston Bruins Brando Carlo Autographed Photograph
Starting Bid:$40, Bidding Increments: $10
Autographed photograph with certificate of authenticity attached.
The Bruins selected Brandon Carlo in the second round, 37th overall, of the 2015 NHL Entry Draft. Carlo won a silver medal at age 16 playing with the United States at the 2013 Ivan Hlinka Memorial Cup and twice competed in the IIHF World Junior
Championship, winning bronze in 2016. He was selected by the Boston Bruins in the second round (No. 37) of the 2015 NHL Draft and signed an entry-level contract on Sept. 25 of that year.
After one more season with Tri-City of the Western Hockey League, Carlo made his professional debut with Providence of the American Hockey League on April 1, 2016, playing seven games to end the season.
The following season, Carlo made the Bruins out of training camp. He had an assist in his first NHL game at the Columbus Blue Jackets on Oct. 13, 2016, and scored his first NHL goal at the Winnipeg Jets four days later.
Often playing with veteran defenseman Zdeno Chara, Carlo had 16 points (six goals, 10 assists), was plus-9 and averaged 20:49 (wrong number) of ice time in 82 games. However, a concussion sustained in the final game of the regular season kept Carlo out of Boston’s six-game loss to the Ottawa Senators in the Eastern Conference First Round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs.
Carlo would become a mainstay on the Bruins back end, playing 76 games (six points) in 2017-18 and 72 games (10 points) in 2018-19, when he helped the Bruins advance to the Stanley Cup Final before losing to the St. Louis Blues in seven games.
