      _Performances in May _


    */Duck Hunter Shoots Angel
    <http://www.cvlt.org/79thSeason/duckhunter.php>
    /NOW through May 16, 2009
    Fridays/Saturdays at 8 PM*

Directed by Robert McCoy

The Ohio Premiere of a comedy from Mitch Albom, author of /Tuesdays with 
Morrie/ and /The Five People You Meet in Heaven/

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 classic "culture 
clash" comedy bearing a love story, sibling rivalry, yellow journalism, 
and ultimately a heartfelt message.

"Wildly entertaining... this CVLT production thrives... a testimony to 
why this community theater has been identified as one of the best in the 
area." -- Bob Abelman, The News-Herald

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

    */Almost, Maine <http://www.cvlt.org/79thSeason/almostmaine.php>
    /NOW through May 2, 2009
    Friday/Saturday 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
56 River Street /
