CVLT celebrates the holidays, and pays tribute Steve Shields...
On *SATURDAY, DECEMBER 3 at 11 AM*, Chagrin Valley Little Theatre will
be holding a memorial tribute to our long time friend, Mr. Steve
Shields, who we lost on October 27. Mr. Shields was an extremely
important partner and supporter of our organization for several decades,
not least of which by making his 56 River Street building available to
us for the storage of our costumes, scenery, and props, as well as his
co-founding and gracious hosting of our River Street Playhouse stage.
The tribute, which is open to all who knew Steve, will include remarks
from a variety of CVLT leaders past and present, including Tom and Jo
Ann Neff, June Forbes Woodman, Rollin DeVere, Kate Tonti, Yvonne E.
Pilarczyk, and Don Edelman. We will also hear remembrances from Steve's
friend Dr. Karl Haecker, as well as broadcaster Bette Moss. Jan Jones
and Pat Mazzarino will be MC and moderator for the presentation, which
will include an excerpt from this summer's /The Sunshine Boys/ featuring
Frank Mularo and Don Edelman, and musical honors from Holly Merholz,
David Keith Stiver, and Regis Bookshar's trumpet ensemble. The event is
expected to last roughly an hour, with a post-reception in the River Room.
In less somber news, December includes FIVE holiday events for your
entertainment, including our musical SCROOGE
<http://www.cvlt.org/82ndSeason/scrooge.php?utm_source=monthlymail&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=dec2011>
and our adult comedy A TUNA CHRISTMAS
<http://www.cvlt.org/82ndSeason/tuna.php?utm_source=monthlymail&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=dec2011>,
both of which already have some sold-out performances, as well as our
27th annual HOLIDAY SHOW & GINGERBREAD TEA with SANTA
<http://cvlt.org/82ndSeason/gingerbread.php?utm_source=monthlymail&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=dec2011>
and a musical revue on NEW YEAR'S EVE with Pat Mazzarino and friends
<http://cvlt.org/82ndSeason/newyear.php?utm_source=monthlymail&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=dec2011>.
Also, the Chagrin Falls Studio Orchestra returns with their yearly
HOLIDAY CONCERT
<http://cvlt.org/82ndSeason/cfso-holiday.php?utm_source=monthlymail&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=dec2011>,
featuring the premiere of an original Christmas musical show arranged by
Bill Corcoran.

This show, focused toward children 10 and under has Santa, Mrs. Claus,
Rudolph, Frosty, Gingerbread Boy, and Queen Evergreen, along with Elves,
Toy Soldiers, and the usual two villains, Old Man Winter and Jackie
Frost. There is a short Christmas play which includes the kids in the
audience coming up on stage to sing with the characters and then also
has the villains being chased through the audience. It is a fun packed
half hour which concludes with the children walking across the stage as
they visit with Mousie the puppet, cuddle with Rudolph, and talk with
Santa, if they so choose. Parents are encouraged to bring their cameras
to capture the great pictures during and after the show!
