*We bid farewell to the 82nd Season, and good friend...*
August was an active month at CVLT! Our summer productions of /Belles/
at the River Street Playhouse and the musical comedy /Hairspray/ on the
main stage both packed the aisles and brought many new faces both to our
stages and our seats. Thought the season has ended, we never stop moving
at CVLT and are already on the edge of the first productions in our
*83rd Season
<http://www.cvlt.org/83rdSeason/index.php?utm_source=monthlymail&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=sept2012>*!
If you haven't been a subscriber
<http://www.cvlt.org/subscriptions.php?utm_source=monthlymail&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=sept2012>
before, this is a great year to start... you could be *saving over $40!*
Individual tickets are now on sale, but subscriptions remain available.
August was also a bittersweet month, as we bid farewell to Frank J.
Mularo (1935 - 2012), who passed away on August 29th after a long
illness. Frank was a remarkably talented actor and director, beloved by
his fellows on the stage as well as by audiences. He appeared in many
CVLT productions, including several "Murder by the Falls" events, making
his last appearance in 2011's "The Sunshine Boys" at our River Street
Playhouse. Frank served the theater as a member, director, actor, and
friend, and will be missed by all who worked with him here. Visitation
and memorial details can be found on Cleveland.com
<http://obits.cleveland.com/obituaries/cleveland/obituary.aspx?pid=159611895>.
CVLT may be holding its own memorial - details to be posted on our
Facebook <http://www.facebook.com/ChagrinTheatre> page and website

See you soon,
/Your Friends at CVLT/

*/Murder By The Falls
<http://www.cvlt.org/83rdSeason/murderbythefalls.php?utm_source=monthlymail&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=sept2012>/*
*September 7 & 8
Friday & Saturday night at 8 PM*
Writtenby Greta & Andrew Rothman
Directed by Greta Rothman
*TICKETS: *$50 ($25 tax deductible)

*TICKETS BY PHONE / IN PERSON ONLY!

Murder by the Falls kicks off each new season at CVLT with an original
audience-participation comedy/mystery. Money raised from this highly
popular event goes to the general operating expenses of the theatre.
Audience 'Deputies' will be grouped 8 per squad. You may choose your
fellow Deputies or the Chief (CVLT) will assign your partners for you.
7:00 - Hors d'oeuvres and beer/wine cash bar at the Theatre
8:00 - Act I, in which the crime is committed.
8:45 - Your team search for clues in the windows of stores in the
Village and interviews characters on the street.
9:15 - Return to 'Headquarters' for catered dessert as your team decides
on a solution to the mystery
10:00 -- Act II -- The criminal is uncovered and prizes are awarded to
the team who was closest to the answer!
This year, you and your fellow detectives will be asked to help solve
"RIVER STREET BLUES". When Chagrin police arrest a man for trying to
break into the old IVEX paper mill, and he is later found dead in police
custody, even the cops become suspects! Plenty of intrigue and
belly-laughs await you and your fellow deputies!

Steve Eva and Don Edelman team up for the fifth year running to bring
you a special one-weekend-only concert musical event, featuring the
35-piece *Chagrin Falls Studio Orchestra* on stage.
Leslie Bricusse and Anthony Newley's "The Roar of the Greasepaint -- The
Smell of the Crowd" will feature some of the area's finest vocalists,
and the full Chagrin Falls Studio Orchestra on stage, with popular songs
like "Who Can I Turn To?" and "Feeling Good."
The show is a music-hall allegory that examines the British class
structure of the 1960's. "Sir" and "Cocky", who represent the upper and
lower classes, play a game with ever-changing rules advantageous to
"Sir". It is as up to date as ever and particularly relevant on the edge
of election season.
*Starring:* Bob Keefe, Dan Hoy, Caitlin Houlahan, Evie Koh, Brian Keith
Johnson*, and Jerry Schaber.
*Featuring:* Sophi Dennis, Jeanne Greminger, Sophie Longo, Emily
McCulley, Ashleigh Nagy, and Lilly Saunders

This triple-Tony-Award-winning comedy is the story of two pairs of
parents, one of whose child has hurt the other at a public park. They
meet to discuss the matter like civilized adults.
Alan (Tim Coles), is a lawyer who is never off his mobile phone. His
wife, Annette (Evie Koh) is in "wealth management"... specifically her
husband's wealth... and consistently wears good shoes. The other boy's
father, Michael (Mark DePompei), is a self-made wholesaler with an
unwell mother, and his wife, Veronica (Dawn Hill), is writing a book
about Darfur. As the evening goes on, the meeting degenerates into the
four getting into irrational arguments, and their discussion falls into
the loaded topics of misogyny, racial prejudice and homophobia.
The original Broadway production of /God of Carnage/ was the
third-longest running play of the 2000-2010 decade. A film adaptation by
Roman Polanski appeared in 2011.This hysterical tale of parents behaving
badly was described by The New York Post as "gleefully nasty fun," and
The New York Times hailed it as "first class!"

Learn the fundamentals of theatrical and comedic improvisation:
agreement, spontaneity, listening, and character. Actors will improve
their ability to develop characters, make bold choices, listen deeply,
use their bodies effectively, and form connections with emotional
authenticity. Students will rediscover the art of play, learn to embrace
failure, and silence the voice of judgment in their heads. Previous
stage experience is desirable but not required. Tracy Cubbal
Tracy Cubbal has been a fixture of the Cleveland improv scene since
2005. She has studied at the Annoyance, iO, and Second City in Chicago
and performed at venues including Big Dog Theater, Cleveland Public
Theatre's Pandemonium, the Columbus Unscripted Improv Festival, the Del
Close Marathon, the Oberlin College Improv Conference, and Chicago's
Playground Theater. Tracy performs with Point of No Return Improv in
Cuyahoga Falls and with Cleveland's only all-female troupe, Angry Ladies
of Improv.
