The Concord Players
Johnny D (John Small) has been cast as "Tito", the Italian opera star, in The Concord Players' February 2007 production of the comedy "Lend Me A Tenor". In Act One, "Tito" and "Max" (played by Michael Govang) sing a two-minute duet from the Verdi opera "Don Carlo". Johnny D assures us that his attempt at faking his way through a couple minutes of real opera will bring new meaning to the word "farce".
