    NOTHING IS SACRED IN CVLT'S DARK COMEDY, 'INCORRUPTIBLE'

CHAGRIN FALLS, OH - It's the middle of the thirteenth century, and 
things are going poorly at the monastery in Priseaux, France. The bones 
of St. Foy, patron of the abbey, haven't produced any miracles in over a 
decade. Pilgrims have stopped coming, and their money has stopped coming 
with them. The monks are absolutely destitute and desperate for 
salvation. Things get worse when a rival monastery claims not only that 
/they/ have the true relics of St. Foy, but that they are working 
miracles! All seems lost, until a larcenous, one-eyed minstrel arrives 
to teach the locals a few darkly imaginative tricks to right their 
financial ship. In the process, the monks learn a little something about 
redemption.

Michael Hollinger's /Incorruptible/, which opens at Chagrin Valley 
Little Theatre under the direction of Michael Rogan on March 20th, 
skewers both celebrity worship and material worship . They play is based 
on an actual ninth century feud between two French monasteries over the 
bones of St. Foy (a young girl who was beheaded by the Romans in 303 
A.D. for refusing to renounce her faith), and uses 'Monty Python-esque' 
dark humor to explore the age-old dilemma of whether the ends justify 
the means.

CVLT's production features several familiar faces, including Eric Oswald 
(who recently appeared as 'Father Flynn' in CVLT's /Doubt/), Bobby 
Thomas and Amy Pelleg (who appeared in 2008's sell-out, record-breaking 
comedy /Polish Joke/), and CVLT comedy vet Robert McCoy. Also joining 
are community theater comedy regulars Kevin Derrick, Coletta "Louie" 
West, and Judy Blatnik.

/Incorruptible/ runs Friday and Saturday evenings at 8 PM from March 20 
through April 11. Tickets are $14 regular or $10 for students and 
seniors, and 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.

Chagrin Valley Little Theatre is generously funded by Cuyahoga County 
residents through Cuyahoga Arts and Culture and is supported by the Ohio 
Arts Council.
