Lend Me A Tenor has a little bit of music and a lot of laughter. What it doesn't have is any drama, symbolism, or a moral-except, perhaps, don't try to be someone your are not. It is a comedy for comedy's sake.

There are a lot of doors, which always signifies a good play. On the other hand, there are no special effects, just actors going in doors and going out doors...although, isn't a surprise entrance a special effect? There are a few of those.

There are also no kings, gods, heroes in Lend Me A Tenor, and I'm not even sure there is a protagonist. This is truly an ensemble piece. Each character is vital in his or her own way. These are heroes we can laugh at.

The fun and laughter in the performance springs from the fun, laughter and hard work of many people. this cast has weathered storms, and triumphed and laughed in the face of adversity. For this, along with their dedication and patience, I thank them. I couldn't have done it without them...and I wouldn't want to.

I must also thank the Calumet Players, their board of directors and Marty Wallin, in particular, for allowing me this wonderful opportunity. My producer, Brad Thielsen, deserves special appreciation for his tireless work and sense of humor. Thank you all for taking me in and letting me laugh with you.

Finally, to everyone, audience and cast alike-life is short and there can never be enough laughter. Therefore, do not take this play seriously. I don't.
