      *'Tis the season for live entertainment...*

December at Chagrin Valley Little Theatre is always a packed month, and 
2012 is no exception! The musical Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor 
Dreamcoat 
<http://www.cvlt.org/83rdSeason/joseph.php?utm_source=monthlymail&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=dec2012> 
is already pleasing the crowds and critics on the main stage and Wonder 
of the World 
<http://www.cvlt.org/83rdSeason/wonderoftheworld.php?utm_source=monthlymail&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=dec2012> 
opens on the River Street Playhouse stage this weekend. We'll also be 
taking some time on the morning of December 1 to honor the memory of our 
good friend Frank J. Mularo.

Bring the kids to the annual Gingerbread Tea 
<http://www.cvlt.org/83rdSeason/gingerbread.php?utm_source=monthlymail&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=dec2012> 
next weekend, and bring the whole family to the annual Chagrin Falls 
Studio Orchestra holiday concert 
<http://www.cvlt.org/83rdSeason/cfso-holiday.php?utm_source=monthlymail&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=dec2012> 
later this month. On New Year's Eve 
<http://www.cvlt.org/83rdSeason/newyear.php?utm_source=monthlymail&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=dec2012> 
you can join us for a cabaret of Broadway music! There's just so much to 
enjoy at the Theatre at this time of year.

Lastly, CVLT would also like to extend its deep gratitude to Cuyahoga 
Arts & Culture <http://www.cacgrants.org> and the citizens of Cuyahoga 
County for once again awarding grant funding to us. Every dollar goes a 
very long way in helping to sustain us in our 83rd Season.

We wish you all a wonderful holiday season, and a peaceful, healthy, 
happy 2013!

See you soon,
/Your Friends at CVLT/

Few musicals of the 1970s have endured quite like Andrew Lloyd Weber's 
JOSEPH. This musical re-telling of the story of JOSEPH from the Book of 
Genesis weaves the lyrics of Tim Rice into Webber's memorable pop, rock, 
country, and calypso melodies.

JOSEPH is the story of the favorite son of Jacob, who inspires jealousy 
in his 11 brothers. The brothers fake Joseph's death, selling him into 
slavery. He rises through the ranks of slaves, becoming head of the 
house of an Egyptian millionaire. The millionaire's wife's advances land 
Joseph in jail, where his ability to interpret the dreams of his fellow 
inmates gain the attention of Egypt's Pharaoh. Soon, Joseph is called 
upon to save the entire nation!

*** Tickets for the December 2nd matinee are available exclusively 
through Friends of WomenSafe, a 501(c)3 non-profit with the sole mission 
of generating unrestricted funds for WomenSafe. If you wish to attend

Cass, in an attempt to leave behind her deadly dull life and husband, 
flees to Niagara Falls. There she becomes entangled with various 
neurotics --- a heartbroken tour-boat captain, a half-hearted would-be 
suicide, a pair of incompetent but heartless private eyes --- all of 
whom, before the play is over, discover they are connected in a weird 
lattice of coincidence.

David Lindsay-Abaire has a flair for creating quirky but believable 
characters and enmeshing them in kooky, unbelievable, entertaining 
plots. Like all truly witty comedy writers, he is a poet in disguise, 
and as Cass checks items off her list of "things to do in life," she 
takes the audience on a hilarious and moving journey.

CVLT's annual Holiday Show with Santa and Friends is 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 picitures during and after 
the show. There is open seating for the performance with a theatre 
capacity of 260. Reservations are suggested.

'Gingerbread Tea' featuring gingerbread and beverages is available 
upstairs in CVLT's River Room a half-hour before and after each 
showtime. Tea is served at 12:30 & 1:30 for 1 PM shows and 3:00 & 4:00 
for 3:30 PM shows. Tea seating is limited to 60 per tea-time, so reserve
