Monson Arts Council presents
LEND ME A TENOR
by Ken Ludwig
directed by Stephanie Gilbert
June 5, 6 & 7th (Friday and Saturday at 7:30 PM, Sunday at 2:00 PM)
Harmony Hall, Palmer Historical and Cultural Center, 2072 Main Street, Three Rivers MA
Lend Me A Tenor is a madcap comedy that takes place in 1934 as the Cleveland Grand Opera company prepares to welcome world-famous tenor Tito Merelli for a sold out, one night only performance. It's all downhill from there. What transpires is an hilarious farce full of mistaken identity, slamming doors, and bawdy humor.
Join us for an evening or afternoon filled with farce and side splitting hilarity!
Tickets are $20 Adults & $17 Seniors and Children. Tickets available online.

Amherst College presents THE SCARLET PROFESSOR
Sunday, June 7 at 3:00 PM
Buckley Recital Hall, Amherst College
A free workshop performance of the first half of The Scarlet Professor, a new opera based on the celebrated 1960 arrest and trial of Smith College professor Newton Arvin, created by local artists Eric Sawyer, Harley Erdman, and Barry Werth! The semi-staged performance will be followed by a talk-back with Sawyer, Erdman, and Werth.
The Scarlet Professor recounts the story of Newton Arvin, a nationally renowned literary critic and English professor who was arrested in 1960 along with two younger colleagues for possessing ‘beefcake’ pornography. The darkly comic opera blends the human drama of men caught in a national crusade against perceived indecency with fantasy based on scenes from the book Arvin wrote about most passionately: Nathaniel Hawthorne’s The Scarlet Letter, with its depiction of sin, secrecy, and shame in small-town New England.
