    "This is a very hard-working ensemble that has wonderful comic
    timing, as does director Daniel Takacs."
    -- Bob Abelman, The Times

A farce from Ken Ludwig (/Lend Me A Tenor/, /Leading Ladies/, /Moon Over 
Buffalo/), THE FOX ON THE FAIRWAY takes audiences to the Quail Valley 
Country Club, where club president Bingham (Mike Rogan) has discovered 
that the great golfer he thought would play for his club has been 
recruited to play for the rival country club by his counterpart, the 
cocky and arrogant Dickie (Christopher Napp), risking a large wager that 
Bingham had placed on their competition.

Fortunately, Bingham's newly hired hand, Justin (William Sonnie), is an 
excellent player, and happens to be in love with the clubhouse waitress 
Louise (Natalie Dolezal). All seems right once Bingham finagles Justin's 
nomination, but soon bad weather, a missing engagement ring, the 
appearance of Mrs. Bingham (Laurel Bryant) and Bingham's lustful club 
vice-president (Erika Hansen) cause everything to hook swiftly into the 
rough! Can Quail Valley avoid their own hazards, or will it be a 
hilarious double-bogey for all?

Filled with mistaken identities, slamming doors, and over-the-top 
romantic shenanigans, it's a furiously paced comedy. A charmingly madcap 
adventure about love, life, and man's eternal love affair with... golf.

/Sponsored by The Stulberg Competition <http://stulberg.org/> and Hamlet 
Village <http://hamletretirement.com/>/

Steve Eva and the Chagrin Studio Orchestra 
<http://www.chagrinfallsstudioorchestra.org/> present their 5th annual 
Valentine's Day concert, featuring the world famous virtuoso violinist 
Jinjoo Cho <http://www.jinjoocho.net/> performing the romantic Concerto 
for Violin and Orchestra by Samuel Barber.

Jinjoo Cho's playing has been described as having "an undeniable 
charisma and depth with an intense lyricism and heartfelt tenderness 
that will send shivers up your spine", and The Cleveland Plain Dealer 
wrote of her Severance Hall performance with the Cleveland Orchestra: 
"Jinjoo is a young artist of extravagant gifts."

Jinjoo has links to Cleveland and Chagrin Falls. She moved with her 
family from her native Korea in 2002 to study at the CIM with the Young 
Artists program and teacher Paul Kanter. She and her family still reside 
in Hudson, Ohio. Among many of her accomplishments, in 2005, Jinjoo was 
the Gold Medal winner at the Stulberg String Competition in Kalamazoo 
Michigan. Dr. Bernie Stulberg is a resident of Chagrin Falls, a 
violinist himself, and the son of the founder of the Stulberg 
competition. Dr. Stulberg is a big fan of Jinjoo and arranged support 
from the Stulberg competition for Jinjoo to perform with the Studio 
Orchestra.

Also on the program, Opera Baritone Brian Keith Johnson teams up with 
our own soprano Ryann Angelotti to perform music from Gershwin's Porgy 
and Bess. This talented duo will melt your hearts. Ryann has been a star 
with the orchestra many times at CVLT. Brian Johnson recently was a 
guest performer at the CVLT production of The Roar of the Greasepaint 
--- The Smell of the Crowd. Mr. Johnson is a well known opera performer 
in Northeast Ohio.

In addition, the Orchestra will open the program with a dazzling 
arrangement of Disney Classic songs including music from Peter Pan, Mary 
Poppins, Cinderella and more.

players gripe about all that's wrong with the game today.

      May 31 - June 22, 2013
