It is the biggest night in the history of the Cleveland Grand Opera Company! World famous tenor Tito Morelli is to perform Otello, his greatest role, at the gala season opener.
Saunders, the General Manager, hopes this will put Cleveland on the operatic map. Morelli, already arriving too late to rehearse with the company, is accidentally given a double dose of tranquilizers, which mix with the alcohol he has consumed, and he passes out.
Believing Morelli has killed himself, Max (Saunder's assistant and aspiring singer) is persuaded to secretly take over the role of Otello. Max actually succeeds admirably in fooling all involved in the show... that is, until Morelli awakes!

My first Addison Community Theatre show is being performed this weekend in the A.T. Little Theatre. It's very funny, so I think you should come. I'm the Assistant Director, and I ring the phone. So if it's not too much trouble and you're free Thursday, Friday, or Saturday, please come. I don't know if we'll have a very large audience otherwise.
