    In CVLT's "2 Across", crossword puzzles spell romance

CHAGRIN FALLS, OH - The River Street Playhouse is Chagrin Valley Little 
Theatre's second stage, seating just 65, and plays host to smaller or 
more unusual productions that are better suited to an intimate 
environment. Jerry Mayer's romantic comedy 2 ACROSS, opening on March 1 
for a three-weekend run, is ideal fare.

2 ACROSS is the story of two strangers, Josh and Janet. She's an 
organized, sensible, psychologist. He's a free spirited, unemployed ad 
exec. While she powers through the New York Times crossword puzzle, he 
is apt to flip to the sports section as soon as he hits a tough clue. 
Janet takes crosswords and life very seriously, while Josh treats both 
like a game.

Each commuting solo aboard a San Francisco BART train at 4:30 AM, Janet 
catches Josh tossing away his uncompleted crossword puzzle and 
challenges him to finish it. Thus begins a long, witty, and often 
poignant conversation in which the two help to solve each others' 
puzzles both on the paper and in their lives. The two opposite 
personalities, stuck in close proximity, attack each other's values but 
are also swayed and intrigued by them. As the train ride ends it is 
obvious each of them has been changed for the better, and we're dying to 
know if these two meet again.

Jerry Mayer has written eight plays and wrote for many television shows 
including /Mary Tyler Moore/, /Bob Newhart/, /All In The Family/, and 
/M*A*S*H/. Under the direction of community theater veteran Barbara L. 
Rhoades, and starring Adam V. Young and Chris White, both of whom have 
many comedic performances on their resumes, 2 ACROSS is certain to keep 
audiences smiling through the 80-minute train ride.

2 ACROSS plays Friday and Saturday evenings at 8 PM, March 1 - March 16, 
2013. Tickets are $10. The play is not recommended for younger audiences 
due to some adult language. Tickets and information are available at 
Chagrin Valley Little Theatre's website - www.CVLT.org, or by phone at 
440-247-8955 between 1-6 PM, Monday through Saturday. Chagrin Valley 
Little Theatre's River Street Playhouse is located at the western end of 
River Street in historic Chagrin Falls Village. CVLT is generously 
funded by Cuyahoga County residents through Cuyahoga Arts and Culture 
and supported by the Ohio Arts Council.
