    "Enchanted April" brings an early springtime to CVLT - 12/29/11

CHAGRIN FALLS, OH - /Enchanted April,/ Matthew Barber's Tony-award 
winning stage adaptation of Elizabeth Von Arnim's 1922 novel, will be 
the first production of 2012 at Chagrin Valley Little Theatre. It opens 
in January under the direction of Brendan Sandham. The play is based on 
the same book which spawned the 1992 film (nominated for several Golden 
Globe and Academy Awards) and the 2010 musical stage version.

Beginning in 1920s England, /Enchanted April/ tells the tale Lotty 
Wilson (Dawn Hill), the young wife of a prominent British solicitor, who 
settles upon an April getaway to a secluded castle in Milan to relieve 
her boredom with rainy London (and with her husband - played by Don 
Knepper). She invites along her new friend from the Ladies Club, the 
quiet and thoughtful Rose Arnott (Caitlin Van Niel). Rose is feeling 
left behind by her own husband (Joe Pine), and joins bubbly Lotty for a 
change of scenery. Needing money to cover the rental fee of the Italian 
castle, Lotty manages to convince two unlikely strangers to go along - 
the free-spirited young socialite Lady Caroline (Evie Koh), and an 
overbearing widow named Mrs. Graves (Anna Davis). Upon reaching Milan, 
the unlikely companions also meet the castle's owner (Matt Mortensen) 
and cook (Pamela Ruiz), who soon become part of their lives. While 
falling in love with the Mediterranean countryside, they each learn 
something surprising about hope, love, and themselves. It's an uplifting 
romantic comedy that's perfect for warming the heart in the middle of a 
blustery Cleveland winter!

/Enchanted April/ plays on CVLT's main stage Friday and Saturday nights 
at 8 PM from January 13 - through February 4, 2012. Tickets are $16 
regular, $12 students and seniors.

For tickets and information 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.
