    CVLT's HOLIDAY ENTERTAINMENT TRADITIONS CONTINUE THIS WEEKEND

CHAGRIN FALLS, OH - The annual /Holiday Show with Santa and His Friends 
/ The Gingerbread Tea/ is returning to Chagrin Valley Little Theatre's 
Main Stage on Saturday and Sunday, December 13th and 14th! Children will 
delight in this lighthearted romp with Mrs. Claus, Frosty, Mousie the 
mouse puppet, Santa's elves, Rudolph and other characters. As ever, Old 
Man Winter will show up to cause havoc with his antics until he is 
caught and taught a lesson. Children are invited on stage to help sing 
Christmas songs, and Santa Claus himself will arrive near the end of the 
show for photo opportunities with Santa and their favorite characters.

'Gingerbread Tea' featuring punch and snacks is available upstairs in 
CVLT's River Room a half-hour before and after each showtime. Tea is 
served at 12:30 & 1:30 for 1 PM shows and and 3:00 & 4:00 for 3:30 PM 
shows. Tea seating is limited to 60 per tea-time.  /The Holiday Show/ 
tickets are $6 all seats, with a $2-add on for 'tea' reservations.

The Chagrin Falls Studio Orchestra and musical director Stephen A. Eva 
will present /Here We Go a Wassailing/, its family-friendly, 
holiday-themed concert, on Sunday, December 21, 2008, at 7 p.m on the 
stage at Chagrin Valley Little Theatre. In the spirit of traditional 
caroling, the 45-piece Studio Orchestra will perform as the audience 
"wassails" along to beloved Christmas carols including "The Christmas 
Song (Chestnuts Roasting on an Open Fire)", "Silver Bells", "Frosty the 
Snowman", "We Need a Little Christmas", and "Jingle Bells", as well as 
original studio arrangements for "It's the Most Wonderful Time of the 
Year" and "O Holy Night". Internationally renowned musicians Jocelyn 
Chang, harpist, and Michael Leese, flautist, will offer a pre-concert 
performance with a wassail bowl to share beginning at 6:15 p.m., and 
will join the Studio Orchestra as guest artists during the concert along 
with Cleveland-area vocalists Ryann Angelotti, Pat Mazzarino, and 
Bridgette Davis. Tickets are $15 for all seats.

/The Wizard of Oz/ continues on our main stage Friday and Saturday 
nights at 8 PM through December 20. Tickets are $16 for regular 
admission, and $12 for students and seniors. And for the mature crowd, 
the highly popular dark comedy The Eight: Reindeer Monologues continues 
Friday and Saturday nights at 8 PM at our River Street Playhouse through 
December 19. Tickets are $8.

Tickets for all CVLT shows and events can be purchased online 24 hours a 
day at www.CVLT.org <http://www.CVLT.org>, or by calling the Box Office 
at 440-247-8955 between 1 and 6 PM, Monday through Saturday.

Arts Council.
