*"FILLED WITH LAUGH-OUT-LOUD MOMENTS"* - /Chagrin Solon Sun/
*"THE DROWSY CHAPERONE IS A WONDERFUL ESCAPE"* - /News-Herald/
/THE DROWSY CHAPERONE /is the Tony Award winning homage to American
musicals of the Jazz Age, examining the effect musicals have on the fans
who adore them.
A modern day musical theater addict known simply as "Man in Chair",
seeking to chase his blues away, drops the needle on his favorite LP --
a fictional 1928 musical comedy.
From the crackle of his hi-fi, the musical magically bursts to life
on-stage telling the tale of a pampered Broadway starlet who wants to
give up show business to get married, her producer who sets out to
sabotage the nuptials, her chaperone, the debonair groom, the dizzy
chorine, the Latin lover and a pair of gangsters who double as pastry
chefs. Man in Chair's love of "The Drowsy Chaperone" speaks to anyone
who has ever been transported by the theater.
Starring: Alexandria Marzullo, Brenda Willis, Clayton Minder, Don
Bernardo, Brian Heigel, Eric Oswald, Jerry Schaber, John Hickman, Laurel
Bryant, Libby Merriman, Lisa Tarr, Mark Moore, Mark Snyder, Michael
Rogan, Ryan Bernstein, Suzanne Davis, Tina Burgett-Krause and Tom
Boehringer.

Directed by Eric Oswald
D.L. Coburn's Pulitzer prize winning /THE GIN GAME/ is about a woman in
her twilight years, Fonsia Dorsey (Linda Ryan), who enters a "home for
the aged" and is for a while saved from melancholy by the crusty charm
of Weller Martin (Steve Ryan).
The sardonic Weller cajoles Fonsia into playing a series of games of Gin
on the home's sunlit porch. As they seemingly become close companions,
much is revealed about their respective regret-filled lives -- to the
steady shuffling and playing of cards. Their mutual need for solace is
momentarily satisfied, until Weller's pent-up rage, and Fonsia's subtle
needling, build to a terrible confrontation.
We are hosting a special sneak preview of/THE GIN GAME /as a fund raiser
for the National Breast Cancer Foundation
<http://www.nationalbreastcancer.org/>. On Thursday, April 19th, at 8pm
we will have a Special performance at $25 a seat. Tickets for this
special performance are AVAILABLE AT THE DOOR ONLY and will not be
pre-sold. All proceeds that evening (minus the performance rights) will
be donated to the National Breast Cancer Foundation
<http://www.nationalbreastcancer.org/>. Thank you for helping us in the
fight against breast cancer!

The "Hear Who's Here" series will showcase the journeys and favorite
career highlights of Chagrin Falls area professionals. These fascinating
talks take place on the first Wednesday of each month at 7 PM.
This year's series includes the painters Charles "Bud" Deihl and Mary
Hobbs on April 4th, independent filmmaker (producer of /Take Shelter/)
Tyler Davidson on May 2nd, and author Cinda Williams Chima on June 6th.
*Charles "Bud" Deihl* holds graduate degrees in painting and drawing
(1963) and sculpture (1965) from Michigan State University and was
President at Kendall College of Art and Design in Grand Rapids, Michigan
and President of the Columbus College of Art & Design in Ohio. His
paintings contain images that deliberately mystify, prompting viewers to
seek their own understandings of the meaning.
*Mary Hobbs* received a Bachelor of Arts degree, in 1958, from
Baldwin-Wallace College in Berea, Ohio and has been a fashion artist,
illustrator and art director for the likes of The Richman Brothers
Company, the May Department Stores Company, and The Higbee Company. Her
current work features realistic and vibrant images of pets, children,
homes, florals, and family montages. She is a longtime member of the
Colored Pencil Society of America (CPSA), which has bestowed honors and
recognition upon her work.
Still to come in our 82nd Season...
