Much-beloved Modern Farce Blends High-Class Chaos With Comedy
West Springfield, MA (10/6/26) – West Springfield’s Majestic Theater will present the second production of its 29th Season of plays with the popular comedy Lend Me a Tenor by Ken Ludwig. The show will open on October 22 and run through November 29 at the West Springfield venue.
Myka Plunkett is directing the play, and Michael Garcia is stage manager. Iaslyn Lewis is assistant stage manager, and scenic designer is Dan Rist. Production manager is Marcus Kearns, lighting designer is James McNamara, and Dawn McKay is costume designer.
The cast includes Sam Samuels (Saunders), Sarah Keyes (Maria), Peter Evangelista (Tito), Christopher Marcus (Max), Mona Tiglio (Julia), John Pagliarulo (Bellhop), Raya Malcolm (Maggie), and Dorine Tayts (Diana). Understudies include Nicholas Futris (Max & Bellhop), Abigail Drumm (Maggie), and Myka Plunkett (Juilia, Diana & Maria)
Other plays being produced this season at the Majestic include:
Eureka Day (January 7 – February 14, 2027) by Jonathan Spector. This sharply written comedy takes place at the Eureka Day private school, it follows well‑meaning parents and trustees as they navigate a sensitive public health concern—one that tests personal convictions, community responsibility, and the art of listening. Never taking sides, the play uses humor and insight to explore how neighbors can find common ground even when opinions differ.
The Price (February 25 – April 4, 2027) by Arthur Miller, is a gripping and deeply human drama about the emotional costs we carry from the choices we make. When two long‑estranged brothers reunite to sell their late parents’ belongings, the attic around them becomes a battleground of memory, resentment, and long‑buried truths. As an aging furniture dealer negotiates the value of the objects, the brothers must reckon with the far greater “price” of sacrifice, regret, and the futures they might have lived.
West Side Story (April 15 – May 30, 2027), a timeless musical where soaring romance meets gripping drama. Featuring one of the most iconic and beloved scores in American theater, along with dynamic choreography and richly drawn characters, this landmark production captures the intensity, hope, and heartbreak of young love divided by loyalty and circumstance. West Side Story remains one of the stage’s most electrifying works, and the Majestic invites audiences to experience its passion and poignancy anew in a vivid, heartfelt finale to the season. The musical is based on a Conception of Jerome Robbins, book by Arthur Laurents, music by Leonard Bernstein, and lyrics by Stephen Sondheim.
