    STARRING ROBERT HAWKES

Directed by SUSAN SOLTIS

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 one-man play 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 long-form monologue 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 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* runs 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

in historic Chagrin Falls Village, just west of the main CVLT building.
