    "Scrooge" heralds multiple holiday events at CVLT

CHAGRIN FALLS, OH - The holiday season is always bustling in the 
charming Village of Chagrin Falls, and nowhere is there more action than 
at Chagrin Valley Little Theatre, where a musical, a comedy, and three 
special events will be packed into the remaining weeks of 2011.

The musical /Scrooge/ brings family-friendly entertainment to the main 
stage (November 18 - December 18), while adults will be treated to the 
two-man comedy /A Tuna Christmas/ on CVLT's River Street Playhouse stage 
(November 25 - December 10). In December, the theatre's annual /Holiday 
Show & Gingerbread Tea/ brings Santa Claus and friends into town a few 
weeks early for young children (December 10/11), and the Chagrin Falls 
Studio Orchestra returns for it's annual Wassail concert of Christmas 
favorites (December 22/23). The theatre wraps the year with a shiny bow, 
presenting a musical revue on New Year's Eve featuring vocalist Pat 
Mazzarino and other CVLT regulars performing songs from Broadway and 
Hollywood.

/Scrooge/, which plays Fridays and Saturdays 11/18 through 12/18 at 8 
PM, plus Sundays November 27, December 4* and 18 at 2 PM, is the stage 
adaptation of the classic 1970 musical film, written and composed by 
Leslie Bricusse and based on Dickens' classic 'A Christmas Carol'. 
Director Michael J. Rogan and musical director David Keith Stiver worked 
with choreographer Laura Rightnour-Henri to mold a nearly 40-member 
cast, largely populated with area families. Actor Paul Sloop, who 
appears in the title role, shares the stage with his wife Sarah and four 
daughters who play Bob Cratchit's family. The ensemble also boasts 
father and son Don and Victor Bernardo, mother Kristine and daughters 
Kailin and Brigitte Edwards, father and daighter Rick and Riley 
Firehammer, sisters Emma and Lily Grossberg and Elysa and Claire 
Mulvaney, as well as Vicki O'Malley and her children Patrick and 
Caitlin, among others. Tickets are $18, with a $4 discount for students 
and seniors. *All tickets for the Sunday 12/4 matinee have been 
purchased by Junction Auto Sales and donated to Friends of WomenSafe as 
a fundraiser - tickets for this performance can be purchased exclusively 
through Friends of WomenSafe at (440) 285-3741.

/A Tuna Christmas/, which plays Fridays and Saturdays at 8 PM, November 
25 - December 10 on the smaller River Street Playhouse stage, is a 
significantly different style of holiday fun from the big musical next 
door. This second installment in a trio of hilarious comedies by Jaston 
Williams, Joe Sears, and Ed Howard features just two actors (David 
Malinowski and Joseph Dunn) playing over twenty eccentric characters of 
all ages and sexes. Audiences will laugh at the travails of the 
residents of fictional Tuna, Texas, whose annual Christmas Yard Display 
Contest has been thrown a curve by a mysterious vandal who sabotages the 
displays. Meanwhile, the townsfolk try to manage their own crazy holiday 
turmoil, including family woes, probation problems, and an ill-fated 
production of "/A Christmas Carol/". This wildly funny holiday ride for 
grown-ups is directed by Yvonne E. Pilarczyk. Tickets are $10.

For tickets and information and all of these events, see Chagrin Valley 
Little Theatre's website at www.CVLT.org, or call 440-247-8955 (box 
office by phone Monday through Saturday from 1-6 PM). CVLT is located at 
40 River Street in historic downtown Chagrin Falls.

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