Based on the popular 1988 comedy film starring Steve Martin and Michael 
Caine, /Dirty Rotten Scoundrels/ is a musical about on two con men 
living on the French Riviera; high-brow Lawrence Jameson (Rob Albrecht) 
makes his lavish living by talking rich ladies out of their money, while 
low-brow Freddy Benson (Trey Gilpin) swindles women with lies about his 
ill grandmother. After a chance meeting, they unsuccessfully attempt to 
work together only to find that the town isn't big enough for the two of 
them. So they make a bet: the first one to swindle $50,000 from a young 
heiress (Heather Hersh) triumphs and the other must leave town. What 
follows are a series of musical schemes, masquerades and double-crosses 
in which nothing may ever be exactly what it seems!

/Dirty Rotten Scoundrels/ features the music and lyrics of David Yazbek 
(/The Full Monty/) and a book by Jeffrey Lane. It had its world premiere 
at San Diego's Old Globe Theatre in September 2004, and opened on 
Broadway in March 2005 to rave reviews, and was awarded 11 Tony Award 
nominations, including Best Musical.

*Also Starring:* Heather Englander, Neely Gevaart, Brandon Hood, Sharon 
Lloyd, Libby Merriman, Clayton Minder, Eric Oswald, Wes Roj, Emily 
Tillmaand, Brenda Willis and Levi Wilson

CVLT's /Hear Who's Here/ series of local speakers kicks off with Amy 
Sancetta, a Moreland Hills Village resident, is a 28-year veteran staff 
photographer with the Associated Press (AP), the global news gathering 
organization. Amy won the Pulitzer Prize in feature photography in 1992, 
and was named, in 1993, the Associated Press top sports photographer 
worldwide.

Amy's presentation will highlight her professional journey from Orange 
High School yearbook photographer to national photographer for the 
Associated Press (AP): one day she was shooting the area Chagrin vs. 
Orange high school football game; turn many pages forward to 2010, and 
she is headed to Vancouver, Canada to cover her 11th Olympic Games.

Her presentation will include a career overview, from local to 
international; an explanation of what is the Associated Press; and a 
music-accompanied PowerPoint presentation of her favorite images. Amy 
will also provide a how-to on vastly improving one's own picture making 
abilities.

A selection of her pictures will be available for sale including sports, 
news and feature items.

This three-part initial series will be held on the first Wednesday of 
each month at CVLT's River Street Playhouse 
<http://www.cvlt.org/riverstreet.php>, and commences with photographer 
Amy Sancetta on March 2nd 
<http://www.cvlt.org/81stSeason/hwh-sancetta.php>, and continues with 
author Scott Lax on April 6th 
<http://www.cvlt.org/81stSeason/hwh-lax.php> and cartoonist Jenny 
Campbell on May 4th <http://www.cvlt.org/81stSeason/hwh-campbell.php>.

    */AUDITIONS <http://www.cvlt.org/auditions.php>: The Rocky Horror Show/*

CVLT will be holding auditions in March for Richard O'Brien's original 
musical /The Rocky Horror Show/ <81stSeason/rockyhorror.php>, which 
spawned the 1975 cult-classic film, /The Rocky Horror Picture Show/. 
It's the story of two naive teens, Brad and Janet, who stumble into the 
castle of the lust-driven transvestite alien, Dr. Frank-N-Furter. CVLT 
will round off its 81^st season with this raucous, rock-n-roll, B-movie 
sendup, using the original 1973 script while angling musically toward 
the more modern sound of the 2000 Broadway revival.
