Directed by Katie Laris, the play will be presented at the Garvin Theatre on the college’s west campus, 900 block of Cliff Drive in Santa Barbara.
“A Comedy of Tenors” follows four tenors in 1930s Paris as they prepare for the concert of the century. That premise sets the stage for chaos, mistaken identities, bedroom hijinks and madcap delight.
Ken Ludwig has had six shows on Broadway, andseven in London’s West End, and many of his works have become a standard part of the American repertoire.
‘A Comedy of Tenors” will feature Justin Davanzo, Jean Louis Dedieu, Felicia Hall, Luke Hamilton, Isaac Lewis, Sean O’Shea, Tiffany Story and Grace Wilson.
