    CVLT presents Ohio premiere of comedy by best-seller Mitch Albom

CHAGRIN FALLS, OH - Mitch Albom is internationally renowned for his 
deeply touching novels /Tuesdays with Morrie /and /The Five People You 
Meet in Heaven/. The television version of /Tuesdays With Morrie/ 
(produced by Oprah Winfrey and starring Jack Lemmon and Hank Azaria) 
garnered four Emmy awards, including best TV film, director, actor and 
supporting actor. Albom's novels have earned him a reputation as a 
master of serious, inspirational drama. His play, /Duck Hunter Shoots 
Angel/, is something else entirely.

/Duck Hunter Shoots Angel, /Albom's first play not based on a book, as 
well as his first comedy, makes its Ohio premiere at Chagrin Valley 
Little Theatre on April 24th under the direction of Robert McCoy. In 
/Duck Hunter/, two bungling Alabama brothers (Eric Oswald and Mike 
Rogan) think they've shot an angel, not a duck, while hunting in the 
swampy southern woods. A washed up, cynical tabloid reporter (Adam 
Young) and his unwilling photographer (Marvin Mallory) are sent by their 
boss (Kevin Derrick) to cover the story, but soon begin to think there 
might be something to it after they discover feathers, a wing, and a 
tiara at the scene. Throw in a shopgirl at the local Gasmart (Alex 
Marzullo), a half-man/half-alligator (George Spelvin), and a ghost, and 
you have a classic "culture clash" comedy bearing a love story, sibling 
rivalry, yellow journalism, and ultimately a heartfelt message.

/Duck Hunter Shoots Angel / runs Friday and Saturday evenings at 8 PM 
from April 24 through May 16. Tickets are $14 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. Also playing on CVLT's 
River Street Playhouse second stage is the quirky romantic comedy 
/Almost, Maine/ through May 2 ($8).

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