One evening in 1964, The Plaids, a quartet of high-school buddies who  
sang 1950s male harmony in the vein of 'The Four Freshmen' and 'The  
Four Aces', were on their way to their first big performance at a  
local hotel, when their car was struck by a bus-load of school girls  
on their way to see The Beatles on the Ed Sullivan show. The quartet's  
lives and musical careers were put to a swift and ironically  
metaphorical end. Now, they've been sent back to earth to do the show  
that they never got to perform!

Stuart Ross's Forever Plaid was an off-Broadway hit in 1990, which has  
since become an international sensation. It includes such  
unforgettable tunes as "Three Coins in the Fountain", "Moments to  
Remember", "Chain Gang", "Perfidia", "Love is a Many Splendored Thing"  
and more!

Chagrin Valley Little Theatre's production features Chad Duwe as  
"Jinx" (the nervous tenor), Trey Gilpin as "Sparky" (the goofball  
baritone), Brandon Hood as "Frankie" (the spirited leader), and Steven  
R. Tiderman as "Smudge" (the meek but earnest bass).

 From David Mamet, the gritty playwright behind Glengarry Glen Ross,  
Speed the Plow and American Buffalo, comes a funny and poignant comedy  
about the relationship between two actors: Robert, an older stage  
veteran in the declining years of his career, and John, a young,  
promising actor. The pair experience theatre life – onstage and off –  
while each learning something about “real life.”

In scenes both hilarious and touching, Robert tries to teach John what  
he thinks John needs to know to make his way as a professional actor.  
But along the way, we come to understand that Robert also needs to  
learn how to accept his advancing age and declining abilities with  
grace, and ultimately “pass the torch” to the younger generations of  
actors who will follow.

This backstage view of life in the theatre was made into a film  
version starring Jack Lemmon and Matthew Broderick. It was first  
produced in 1977 at the Goodman Theatre in Chicago, and revived there  
in 2006. F. Murray Abraham starred in the show off-Broadway in 1992. A  
Broadway revival starring Patrick Stewart is planned for late 2010.
