      Happy New Year!

Welcome to 2011 and another fantastic year of entertainment from Chagrin 
Valley Little Theatre. Following the absolutely wild December we had 
with /Annie, Gingerbread Tea,/ and the Chagrin Falls Studio Orchestra 
bringing Christmas Cheer,/ Hillary: A Modern Greek Tragedy with a 
(somewhat) Happy Ending/ bringing laughs, and /Decades of Divas/ getting 
the toes tapping for New Year's Eve, we are looking forward to a welcome 
bit of breathing room in our calendar this month.

The main stage production of /Bloody Murder 
<http://cvlt.org/81stSeason/bloodymurder.php>/ opens on the 14th, and 
the Youth Theatre commences its next session on the 8th. Our River 
Street Playhouse will host Your Hometown Chagrin Falls 
<http://yourhometownchagrinfalls.com> on January 11. Also, CVLT will be 
acting as a ticketing outlet for the January 29 performance of the 
Cleveland Jazz Orchestra <http://www.chagrinarts.org>, brought to you by 
the Chagrin Foundation for Arts & Culture. <http://www.chagrinarts.org> 
CVLT's outreach program, Accent on Youth, will continue to be active in 
January at West Geauga, Solon and Mayfield schools, presenting social 
and relationship issues under the coordination of Julia Kolibab.

The CVLT Board of Directors will meet this month at Hamlet Village 
<http://www.hamletretirement.com> to discuss various long-term planning 
issues, with Lisa Kraemer serving as moderator. This process is 
invaluable to CVLT as the Directors fashion improvements in direction 
and mission, and implement programs for the Theatre's Capital Campaign 
initiative, which will be highlighted throughout the New Year.

See you soon,
Your Friends at CVLT

Playwright Ed Sala offers up a twisted whodunit in /Bloody Murder/, a 
play that turns the murder-mystery genre on its head. Premiering at 
Akron's Weathervane Playhouse in January, 2009, this 
fourth-wall-breaking spoof opens on January 14th at CVLT.

The wealthy Lady Somerset has assembled an unlikely group of guests for 
a weekend at her lavish countryside estate. The attendees represent the 
usual murder-mystery suspects; we meet a middle-aged maid, a far-too 
innocent ingenue, an enigmatic and well-preserved countess, a 
self-glorifying Major, the ne'er-do-well nephew and an actor of former 
acclaim.

Sure enough, one of these people meets a mysterious and violent end. But 
Lady Somerset takes an unusual turn by refusing to call the authorities 
(although the bumbling police chief eventually arrives) and she insists 
that she and her guests are simply characters in a mystery story who 
must rebel against their author. The players and their writer enter into 
a wild battle of wills that delivers plenty of laughter and a surprising 
end!

    "It's a sign of fresh, intelligent writing when a playwright
    succeeds in totally messing with his audience's minds. (In a playful
    way, that is.)"

    - /Kerry Clawson, Akron Beacon Journal/
