When Jon Lonoff's comedy SKIN DEEP premiered in New York ten years ago, 
one reviewer said "in a country obsessed with weight, plastic surgery, 
dating and infidelity, it's little wonder that a playwright has come 
along to tackle all of these subjects in a satirical comedy... 
delighting the audience with every one-liner." The country's obsessions 
certainly haven't changed much since then, and Lonoff's comedy, which 
opens at Chagrin Valley Little Theatre on May 31 for a four-weekend run, 
is still every bit as insightful and witty.

The plot centers on the insecure Maureen Mulligan (Jenny Barrett), who 
has has holed herself up in her Queens apartment, hiding herself away in 
a bathrobe behind a wall of self-deprecating humor. Sheila (Jaqueline 
Hummel), Maureen's married, manipulative, self-absorbed sister, sets her 
up on a blind date with sweet, awkward Joe Spinelli (Tim Walsh). Into 
this mix drops Sheila's handsome husband, Squire (Bobby Thomas), the 
quintessential understanding and supportive husband, who has an eye for 
the ladies.

Under the direction of CVLT veteran Barbara L. Rhoades, Jon Lonoff's 
play allows the audience to relate to the issues of body image, mid-life 
crisis, and middle-aged dating, while giving a hearty and poignant laugh 
at how these topics have become ingrained in our consciousness.
