    The new year begins with "Bloody Murder" at CVLT

CHAGRIN FALLS, OH - Chagrin Valley Little Theatre starts 2011 with Ed 
Sala's /Bloody Murder/, a twisted, fourth-wall-breaking, whodunit/spoof 
that turns the murder-mystery genre on its head. The play will be on 
CVLT's main stage Friday and Saturday evenings at 8 PM, January 14 - 
February 5.

The wealthy Lady Somerset (Linda Ryan) 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 far-too innocent 
ingenue (Tary Lyn Bergoine), an enigmatic and well-preserved Countess 
(Tary Lyn Bergoine), a self-glorifying Major (Rollin DeVere), the Lady's 
ne'er-do-well nephew (Eric Oswald), an alcoholic fading actor (Steve 
Ryan) and, of course, the obligatory maid (Lisa Tarr).

As is often the case with these scenarios, one of the characters meets a 
mysterious and violent end. But Lady Somerset takes an unusual turn by 
refusing to call the authorities, insisting that she and her guests are 
simply characters in a mystery story who must ignore the death and join 
her in revolt against the "perfectly dreadful author". The players and 
their playwright enter into a wild battle of wills that delivers plenty 
of laughter and a surprising end!

/Bloody Murder/ is directed by Douglas Farren and made its world 
premiere at Akron's Weathervane Playhouse in January, 2009.

/Bloody Murder/ tickets are $16 regular, $12 for students and seniors, 
and are available at www.CVLT.org, or by phone at 440-247-8955, Monday 
through Saturday from 1-6 PM.

Complete details on CVLT's 81st Season are available online at 
www.CVLT.org. The theater is located at 40 River Street in historic 
Chagrin Falls Village. Dinner packages are available with local restaurants.

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