    CVLT's "Mrs. Mannerly" is a comedy about etiquette and growing up

CHAGRIN FALLS, OH - Quick! What is the proper placement of a dessert 
fork when setting a table? Not sure? Mrs. Mannerly will certainly mark 
points off of your grade, for she is the eponymous teacher in Jeffrey 
Hatcher's poignant comedy MRS. MANNERLY, which opens on Chagrin Valley 
Little Theatre's River Street Playhouse stage for a three-weekend run 
starting May 3.

Hatcher's madcap tale is related through the memories of Jeffrey (Mark 
DePompei), Mrs. Mannerly's newest student. While Mrs. Mannerly (Rebecca 
Knab) has tutored countless students in poise, grace, the polka, and 
silverware configuration for thirty-six years, no one has ever managed 
to get a perfect score on the final exam. Ten-year-old Jeffrey, 
determined to be the first, will do just about anything to make it 
happen, including using his teacher's secret past to his advantage. In 
the process, he learns what it means to grow up and how friends can be 
found in the most surprising of places.

MRS. MANNERLY is directed by Steve Kay and runs Friday and Saturday 
evenings at 8 PM in CVLT's River Street Playhouse. The River Street is 
CVLT's smaller venue just across the parking lot from the main theater 
building and is often home to more quirky and unusual fare than the 
262-seat main auditorium. The play includes themes and language 
unsuitable for children.

Tickets to all River Street Playhouse productions are $10, and can be 
purchased in advance at Chagrin Valley Little Theatre's website - 
www.CVLT.org, or by phone at 440-247-8955 between 1-6 PM, Monday through 
Saturday. Tickets are also available at the door. (Oh, and in case you 
were wondering, the dessert fork goes horizontally above the plate, 
tines pointing right!)

Chagrin Valley Little Theatre is located at 40 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.
