does yeoman duty & sets the homey, folksy tone

"Tenor Alex Mansoori, who sets the homey, folksy tone for the evening with his introductory monologue, does yeoman duty in his assignment as the Stage Manager, omniscient narrator of “Our Town,” who also takes part in the action as the druggist, Mr. Morgan, who serves George and Emily ice cream sodas on their first date, and as the minister, who presides over the wedding and funeral. Mansoori and McFerrin both end solos with impressive quiet high notes."
