    "Yankee Tavern" has conspiracy theories on tap at CVLT - 2/2/12

CHAGRIN FALLS, OH - YANKEE TAVERN by Steven Dietz, a taut comic thriller 
from one of America's leading contemporary playwrights, will have you on 
the edge of your seat beginning on February 10th at CVLT's River Street 
Playhouse under the direction of Don Edelman.

Adam (Christopher DiMichele) is a young grad student on the fast track 
toward marriage and a career in the CIA. He's filling in for his late 
father behind the bar at the Yankee Tavern, an old gin joint in lower 
Manhattan scheduled for demolition. Adam has also inherited his dad's 
friend Ray (Bob Fortlage), a possibly schizophrenic conspiracy theorist 
who rattles on about everything from Starbucks and the moon landing to 
Yoko Ono and the Bay of Pigs. Ray even talks to dead people in the 
abandoned hotel upstairs where he crashes.

All seems under control until Palmer (Don Bernardo) arrives, a 
mysterious stranger who seems to know far too much about the 9/11 
attacks. Suddenly, Ray's ranting does not seem nearly so far off base. 
And when the wedding invitations to his half of the guest list start 
coming back as undeliverable, Adam's fiancée Janet (Amy Pelleg) begins 
to suspect a mystery even closer to home. Will monumental secrets be 
brought to light before the walls come down on the Yankee Tavern or will 
they be buried with the bar?

YANKEE TAVERN plays on CVLT's River Street Playhouse stage Friday and 
Saturday nights at 8 PM from February 10 - 25, 2012. Tickets are $10. 
Some material in the show may not be suitable for younger audiences. For 
tickets and information see Chagrin Valley Little Theatre's website at

River Street in historic downtown Chagrin Falls, just west of the main 
theater building.
