      _Performances in April _

    */Incorruptible
    A Dark Comedy about the Dark Ages
    <http://www.cvlt.org/79thSeason/incorruptible.php>
    /NOW until April 11, 2009
    Fridays & Saturdays at 8 PM*

Directed by Michael Rogan

Welcome to Priseaux, France, c. 1250 A.D. The river flooded again last 
week. The chandler's shop burned to the ground. Nobody's heard of the 
wheelbarrow yet. And Saint Foy, the patron saint of the local monastery, 
hasn't worked a miracle in thirteen years. In other words, the Dark Ages 
still seem pretty dark!

All eyes turn to the pope, whose promised visit will surely encourage 
other pilgrims to make the trek and restore the abbey to its former 
glory. That is, until a rival church claims to possess the relics of 
Saint Foy -- and their bones are working miracles!

All seems lost, until a larcenous, one-eyed minstrel appears and teaches 
the locals a few imaginative tricks to right their financial ship. In 
the process, the monks learn a little something about redemption.

A Monty Pythonesque comedy that gives new meaning to the old Biblical 
buzzsaw, "robbing Peter to pay Paul!"

*Tickets:* $14 regular / $10 for students and seniors.

    */Almost, Maine <http://www.cvlt.org/79thSeason/almostmaine.php>
    /April 17 - May 2, 2009
    Fridays & Saturdays at 8 PM*

Directed by David Malinowski

Spring is in the air here in Cleveland, but in the mythical town of 
/Almost, Maine/, the residents are still fighting the cold. As the 
northern lights hover in the star-filled sky above, Almost's residents 
find themselves falling in and out of love in unexpected and often 
hilarious ways. Knees are bruised. Hearts are broken. But the bruises 
heal, and the hearts mend -- almost -- in this delightful midwinter 
nights' dream written by John Cariani, best known as CSU Tech 'Julian 
Beck' on the television show Law & Order.

Audiences are treated to nine quirky, romantic vignettes exploring the 
impact of love on our lives. All 19 characters in these pieces are 
played by four actors - Chuck Matthews, Maggie Leach, Natalie Dolezal 
and Jon Gellott. Almost, Maine uses a "magical realism" style, where 
everything is realistic except for the one magical moment which seems to 
fit in seamlessly. The result is an enchanting and whimsical evening 
that will help take that last chill Winter off of your heart on your way 
into Spring!

*Tickets:* $8 all seats
/at CVLT's River Street Playhouse

    */Duck Hunter Shoots Angel
    <http://www.cvlt.org/79thSeason/duckhunter.php>
    /THE OHIO PREMIERE!
    April 24 - May 16, 2009
    Fridays & Saturdays at 8 PM*

Directed by Robert McCoy

CVLT presents the first Ohio production of Mitch Albom's comedy, in 
which two bungling Alabama brothers think they've shot an angel, not a 
duck, while hunting in the swampy southern woods. A cynical tabloid 
reporter and his unwilling photographer are sent to cover the story but 
think there might be something to it when they find feathers, a wing, 
and a tiara at the scene. Throw in a shopgirl at the local Gasmart, a 
half-man/half-alligator, and a ghost, and you have a wonderful comedy 
with a heartfelt message.

This mix produces a love story, sibling rivalry, yellow journalism, race 
relations, and cultural stereotypes -- all wrapped up with a surprise 
ending!

*Tickets:* $14 regular / $10 for students and seniors.
