    Robert Hawkes to appear solo in "Underneath The Lintel"

CHAGRIN FALLS, OH - Acclaimed local actor *Robert Hawkes* will return to 
Chagrin Valley Little Theatre's River Street Playhouse stage after an 
absence of twenty years in *UNDERNEATH THE LINTEL*. The long-form 
monologue by Glen Berger ran for over 450 performances Off-Broadway, won 
the 2001 Ovation Award (Los Angeles) and 2003 Sterling Award (Edmonton) 
for Best Play, and was selected as one of Time Out New York's Ten Best 
Plays of 2001. The CVLT production, which runs April 29 to May 14, joins 
a long list of productions in over 55 cities in 8 countries. Full of 
both pathos and humor, Glen Berger's play both entertains and illuminates.

*UNDERNEATH THE LINTEL* is the tale of a Dutch librarian. One morning in 
1986, he discover a book in the return slot which had been checked out 
113 years earlier. He is outraged at this disregard for library decorum, 
and becomes determined to find the party responsible and collect the 
appropriate fine. A clue scribbled in the margin of the book and an 
unclaimed dry-cleaning ticket set him off on a quest that not only spans 
the physical world, but becomes a journey of remarkable spiritual 
discovery. A tale of seemingly petty bureaucratic procedure becomes the 
stuff of profound revelation about our relationship to responsibility, 
fate, humanity, and God.

*Susan Soltis* directs actor *Robert Hawkes*, who has been seen on 
practically every honored stage in the Cleveland area, including Dobama, 
Clague Playhouse, the Ohio Shakespeare Festival, the Beck Center, 
Ensemble Theatre, the Cleveland Shakespeare Festival, and at Cleveland 
Public Theatre (many of those just within the past year). His previous 
appearances at CVLT in the 80's and early 90's included roles in /If God 
Had Wanted Women.../, /Baby With the Bathwater/, /Faith Healer/, 
/American Buffalo/, /Silent Music/, and /A Walk in the Woods/.

*UNDERNEATH THE LINTEL* is performed Friday and Saturday evenings at 
8:00 PM, April 29 - May 14. Tickets are $10 all seats, 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 River Street Playhouse is located at 56 River 
Street in historic Chagrin Falls Village, just west of the main CVLT 
building.

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